Guido has nailed it above, however you may also want to look at the update to the Power Objects blog that discusses the best practice for designing icons for CRM 2016:

It's probably also worth pointing out that if you use the SiteMap Editor within the XRM Toolbox you can change the title of your Group "Extensions" to be called "Purchase Orders" or whatever else would be suitable for you.

Finally, you can also change the background colour of the entity icon tiles if you need a different colour than the default green:

Hi,
Have a question on this subject - how do I add an icon, that will appear aside a custom entity record, when I run a Global Search. No one of the icons above doesn't work when it comes to a global search.

Thanks
