You can add your own resources from the resource management page. Press the “Add New Resource” link in the Actions bar on the right hand side.

Resources have some extra properties that might be useful, particularly if the resource is going to be published in the Content area.
Add an icon either by selecting one from your organisations images or by pressing Upload Icon on the Action bar and uploading a PNG file.
