Multiple answers in this thread point to the same general idea: a custom icon is being applied to those volumes rather than Windows randomly changing drive visuals. posted the screenshot, confirmed the image link, and both and flagged that something stored with the drives can assign an icon. That is often benign (leftover installer files or image mounts) but can also be used by malware to hide itself, so a careful check is warranted.

A practical checklist that adds to the existing comments: confirm each letter in Disk Management to see whether the letters are fixed volumes or removable mounts; temporarily disconnect USB/optical media to see if icons revert; enable showing hidden and protected system files in Explorer and inspect the root of each affected volume for any files that could set an icon or run on access; run a full scan with an up-to-date antivirus plus an offline/malware scanner. For persistent or subtle startup items, use the Sysinternals Autoruns utility to view Explorer and drive-related entries and to safely disable suspicious items (Sysinternals Autoruns).

If the cause is only an applied icon/config file, removing that file or disabling the related Explorer entry will restore the normal drive icon. If an executable or unknown program is present on the root of a volume, quarantine it and clean with anti-malware tools; for infected removable media the safest route after backing up personal data is to reformat. In rare cases a registry DriveIcons entry or a driver package can force an icon — address those only after backing up and with care.

Combine the hands-on root inspection suggested by with a scan using Autoruns and modern anti-malware. Back up important data before making deletions or registry changes, and treat any unknown executable found at a drive root as potentially malicious until proven otherwise.

Hei there,

fist of all the link works...it's Daniweb that doesn't allow a character that's in the link. Here is the link http:/www.flickr.com/photos/49986400@N04/7822248574/in/photostream

Second...it's possible you've installed an LG driver or you've mounted an LG disk....other wise I wouldn't know what could it be.

Drives E:, F:, H: - what are they, USB flashdrive keys? Whatever, check them for Autorun.inf files. Those files possibly contain something like...
[AutoRun]
icon=LG.ico
...where LG.ico or similar is pointing to an icon file somewhere.
Just delete the Autorun.inf files.

The only possibility is, you have installed any LG driver or software application whose installation files are copied into these drives. There would be an autorun file in these drives and you need to delete these autorun files applying that LG logo to these drives.
