I found that I needed to use IGlyphService passing in StandardGlyphGroup.GlyphCSharpExpansion and StandardGlyphItem.GlyphItemPublic. This gets me back the standard "scissors" icon for snippets.

You can get the Visual Studio icons from the Visual Studio Image Library. Simply search for snippet to find the snippet icons (sometimes it is quite hard to find a specific icon).

This icons can be freely used AFAIK. The only restriction is, that the have to be used the way they are intended to be used (don't use a delete icon for a menu item that triggers a create operation etc.)
