An icon not displaying properly could have been caused by a number of things. From the icon cache getting corrupted to a broken shortcut link.

Hmm i see, well seeing that not once ever in my lifetime has it just randomly happened, do you think it might be windows 8 causing this?

Nope. Most likely the cache is just corrupted. If so, rebuilding the icon cache should fix it.

If you are running a cleaning utility aggressively, that could be the culprit.
