Changed Icons Only Show Preview Icon

Hey Guys,

I am having trouble changing my icons. I know how to change icons:

Click the volume, application, folder, or file whose icon you want to paste onto another item.

From the File menu, choose Get Info or press Command-I to open the Get Info window.

Click the icon in the upper-left corner of the Get Info window to select it.

From the Edit menu, choose Copy or press Command-C.

Select the volume, application, folder, or file whose icon you want to replace.

From the File menu, choose Get Info or press Command-I.

Click the icon in the upper-left corner.

From the Edit menu, choose Paste or press Command-V to replace the icon.

However, when I paste the actual icon does not show. Instead, an icon that is exactly like the preview icon shows up. Like this:

How do I get it to show the actual icon instead of this?
