You're probably better off using post icons for that.
Trying to change the prefix to an image means you have to change a number of places.

EDIT: I see icons are hard coded, so you can't simply put it in through a template edit.  How annoying.  Well means you'll probably need to use some placeholder or similar and use conditionals to replace it...
