Thank You.
To create a desktop icon:

Rt click on desktop, choose create new then link to application. The minimum you need to fill in is the application name & rename the link (otherwise it will just say 'link to application'). To add an icon click on the icon box on the general properties tab. You can edit properties again later if necessary.

OR,

if the application is list in the start menu, drag'n'drop copy the entry from the start menu to the desktop. Sometimes this will work better, sometimes the application runs through a startup file rather than directly starting the application.

Unlike windows, Linux can use many formats for icon files, jpg & png being the most common. This means you can easily create your own icons if there is none available. For instance you could clip a picture of yourself from a photo (using gimp image editor) or a logo from a website from a screenshot then resize it to use a desktop icon.
