Seperate the objects in your mind.

a GIcon is a complete marker template for use as a marker.
It has a number of properties, including the image source.

You can make a number of different GIcons, and give them different
names;
var tinyIcon = new GIcon();
var hugeIcon = new GIcon();
and their properties can all different or just some different - like
say, the image source.

As an aside, often it's better to create a new GIcon based upon the
default icon, rather than a completely empty one.  That avoids
forgetting to give it any of the obscure properties.
   something = new GIcon(G_DEFAULT_ICON);
Then you go on to set the properties you want to change as before
(size,image etc)

When you create GMarkers, you must tell them which GIcon to use ; if
you don't tell it any it'll use the default red lollipop with a black
spot.
That's what the {icon: } option is doing.
Any number of GMarkers can all share the same GIcon ; a number of
others can use a different GIcon : etc.
So whatever 'thing' you will be using to decide which icon to use for
each marker, needs to set the markerOptions
   if (sometest)
      markerOptions = {icon : myblueicon}
   else
      markerOptions = {icon : myredicon}
