I don't know how the icons are managed, but if Fedora can determine
something individual about your drive, it'll use it (such as a volume
label on the disk - yours might have one preconfigured). Otherwise, it
uses something generic, like "usbdisk".
Side note: Methinks it's high time PCs stopped playing analogy games,
and called things what they are though. Directories aren't folders, and
flash drives don't have "disks" in them. I wish it'd only call
something a usbdisk if it were a true description.
