Picons - The Channel/Provider Logos that you can have on the information bar

for example; say you go to the MTV channel, the MTV logo will appear in the corner on the information bar

You just need to find the picons for the providers you want and copy them to the appropriate folder. Then enable the picons in the skin setup menu (If the skin supports it).

Some images allow you to install them through the blue panel. Sorry I cant tell you exactly how to do it because I dont have an E2 box, so dont know the menu systems.

It should be obvious where to put the files once you look at the skins settings menu, because you can choose from a list of defualt locations there.

That must just be a name the Pli team use, they are called picons by everyone else.

To be honest I wouldn't bother with them because its hard to get them for all channels, and when a picon is not available, a silly looking default logo is used which looks rubbish.
