get UMSWE, look at the location of the icon of the human upgrade, then go to the unit editor, click on ur item, change the icon path to the human upgrade one..

You will need UMS Editor to change the icon file reference. Icons are stored inside the MPQ as BLPs, so it would be also a good idea to have Image Extractor to view the icons and then grab it's path.

Example: Let's say you want an item to have the acolyte icon.
Open your map using UMS Editor and then change the icon of that item to

ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNAcolyte.blp

How do I know that this is the acolyte's icon? Coz i used Image Extractor to view the icons. There are lots of icons on the main game MPQ, some unsed ones also.

After doing that you may also try to create your own icons.
