    First after signing in with your Power BI Online account

    https://app.powerbi.com/ 

    you must check if the following Enable developer visual for testing checkbox is enabled...

     

    Note that you won't find the following Custom Visual icon on Power BI Desktop but only on Power BI Online.

    .

    Reason is that icon [shown with the yellow arrow above] doesn't really refer to any "specific" custom visual you create but rather acts mainly as your online testing channel using pbiviz start command, so IOW it can refer to any custom visual you want to test online.

     

    Once you're happy with testing you can then import the custom visual .pbiviz package you created through  
    File> Import > Power BI Custom visual and it should then display the icon [found in your porject /assets directory]  on Visualization panel. Hope this helps
