which gives me this prompt that is fine, but I would like to be able to change the icon to something other than a terminal icon. Any help would be appreciated.

  No, the shell is what is ultimately running the script, so that is the icon the system uses. You can call a helper app that does the shell script, but that seems like a bit of a runaround.

The badge on the authentication dialog comes from the application that is using the command.

To get a custom badge for the icon you can use a helper AppleScript application to run your script, but if the osascript is all you are doing, you can just do everything by using the app (otherwise all you are doing is using an osascript to run an AppleScript that runs an osascript). To create an application for the osascript, edit your script in the Script Editor, for example:

do shell script "echo 'this is a test' >> ~/Desktop/Testing.txt" with administrator privileges

then save it as an application (leave the options unchecked). Rename a copy of the icon file you want to use to applet.icns, open the app bundle, and replace the existing icon file in /Contents/Resources/. You can then run the application from the Terminal by using open /path/to/your/app

The main icon will still be the padlock, but the badge will now be your application icon.

To pass arguments to an application is a little different than an osascript, but a little bit of AppleScriptObjC takes care of that:

use framework "Foundation"
use scripting additions

# the first argument item is the applet/droplet executable path, so we'll just skip that
set args to rest of (arguments of current application's NSProcessInfo's processInfo() as list)

if args is not then
 do shell script "echo " & first item of args & " >> ~/Desktop/Testing.txt" with administrator privileges
end if

You can run that by using open /path/to/your/app --args “this is a test”

To pass arguments to an application is a little different than an osascript, but a little bit of AppleScriptObjC takes care of that:

use framework "Foundation"
use scripting additions

# the first argument item is the applet/droplet executable path, so we'll just skip that
set args to rest of (arguments of current application's NSProcessInfo's processInfo() as list)

if args is not then
 do shell script "echo " & first item of args & " >> ~/Desktop/Testing.txt" with administrator privileges
end if

You can run that by using open /path/to/your/app --args “this is a test”
