My css style

 .tCliente 

 {     
   background-image: url(../images/logo_tropidatos.gif);

On PrimeFaces 3.0 and newer you can add a facet to override title on tabs:

<p:tabView>
    <p:tab>
        <!-- overrides title on tab-->
        <f:facet name="title">
               <h:outputText value="tab title"/>
               <p:graphicImage value="/resources/images/icon.png"/>
            </f:facet>

        <h:panelGrid>
            <!-- tab content -->
        </h:panelGrid>
    </p:tab>    
</p:tabView>

Hope it helps.
