Facebook Link Image

I recently designed and built this site: http://velvetbus.co.uk

When one of the administrators go to post a link on Facebook the post appears like this:

enter image description here

How can I change the icon? A 'v' is nice and all but doesn't really represent the company too well.

Thanks

Facebook uses Open Graph protocol. You need to add a meta tag on your web page so facebook will know what image do display

<meta property="og:image" content="http://LINK_TO_YOUR_IMAGE"/>

It's best to use a square image, as Facebook displays them in that matter. That image should be at least 50x50 in any of the usually supported image forms (JPG, PNG, etc.)

Here you can learn about other tags http://davidwalsh.name/facebook-meta-tags

Is the facebook link from your website? Make sure to include a <meta property="og:image" content="someimg.jpg" /> in the head of the url you're pointing to in your post, to tell Facebook which image to use for the post.
