Give this a try.

frame.setIconImage(new ImageIO.read(new File("res/game.png")));

where res/game.png is the icon image you want to use

frame.setIconImage(new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("logo.png")).getImage()

This works when the image is in the same package as the class. Note: It is better to have images in a resource folder
