Icon of button appear at the left side and text is on right size. Below is the representation of push button without and with icon. In order to do this we will use setIcon method.

Code :

Python3

# importing libraries
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *
from PyQt5.QtGui import *
from PyQt5.QtCore import *
import sys


class Window(QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

        # setting title
        self.setWindowTitle("Python ")

        # setting geometry
        self.setGeometry(100, 100, 600, 400)

        # calling method
        self.UiComponents()

        # showing all the widgets
        self.show()

    # method for widgets
    def UiComponents(self):

        # creating a push button
        button = QPushButton("CLICK", self)

        # setting geometry of button
        button.setGeometry(200, 150, 100, 30)

        # adding action to a button
        button.clicked.connect(self.clickme)

        # setting icon to the button
        button.setIcon(QIcon('logo.png'))



    # action method
    def clickme(self):

        # printing pressed
        print("pressed")

# create pyqt5 app
App = QApplication(sys.argv)

# create the instance of our Window
window = Window()

# start the app
sys.exit(App.exec())
