Use fonts. Something like:

>i want something like this:
E.g., completely like this with a cool conky bar, not the window/on-desktop thingy? Then the thing you need is some bar that supports stdin reading and icons. I've used dzen2.

just a conky horizontal bar but not say cpu. cpy to be a small icon
I tried to learn how to config dzen2 but really i cant :(

A good example (http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz252/xyverz/conky-200909191049.png) of icons used with conky. What exactly didn't work for ya?

[sk8harddiefast]

i download a lot of samples like that but nowhere i find any command that can load an icon

I used to run conky with icons in the screenshot example that expl provided. Those icons are merely symbol fonts. You have to download the fonts, and define it in your ~/.conkyrc.
