I can right click a new toolbar button to get options but how do I change an already existing button. I want to change the icon for the catalogue as I find the look of that icon doesn't remind me of anything.

Are you wanting to change the icon of a TB icon other than CTB's? If so, I don't think it can be done now.

Correct. But if anybody has an idea for a better icon I will change it.

Yes I was, I thought it would be possible. The orange block doesnt really say anything to me!
Is it possible to create a new item which can call the catalogue feature? seems not.
I was going to use an icon that looked like a book or small filing cabinet

Never really thought about this but I would agree that a book or cabinet might be more intuitive.

I did some research and came across this icon
FileCabinet1.1 IconÔÇöPreview.jpg
Looks rather nice in a TB (will be even better when larger icon sizes will be allowed) and free to use. Credit to:

Nice research. Having not used the Catalog for a spell returned to it over New Year's. The icon is perfect for the CTB to Show/Hide it.

Now, only if the cabinet could close if I hide the catalog.

It appears that the toolbar icons are about 22x22, and to me the image Zer0 found becomes unrecognizable that small.
I found this one which looks more identifiable scaled down:
filecabinet2.jpg
. . .
filecabinet3.jpg
Just my 2 cents.

I believe it's actually 24x24...and yes, your blue cabinet is much clearer at that small size, I think.

Kind of off topic but I've found these sites to be great for finding specific icons:
http://www.iconfinder.net/
http://www.iconlook.com/
http://www.iconlet.com/
Of course there's always DeviantArt, InterfaceLift, and the Tango pack as well.

Just right-click the image ...

Right click just offers to save a jpeg not download a multi-image ico file. That is why the source URL was requested.

It's a single image file. I've resaved it as an ICO file.
There are a few other icons that I think would work as well for the catalog:
