These work for me. I use these shortcuts every day.
Restart [%windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -r -t 00]
Shutdown [%windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -s -t 00]
I use a green and white arrow as an icon for Restart and a red and white
circle with an I in the center for Shutdown.
I don't remember where I got this.

Create Icons for Shutdown and Reboot
If you find it annoying to access the Start Menu for shutting down or
rebooting the computer, create a shutdown and reboot icon for the desktop.
Desktop Shutdown Icon
Right click on the desktop
Click [New] [Shortcut] to open the Create Shortcut Wizard
Type [shutdown -s -t 00] without the brackets.
Click [Next] and type a descriptive name of your choosing for the shortcut
Click [Finish]
Add a bit of class to the shortcut by assigning it a custom icon. Right click
the shortcut, click [Properties] and select the [Shortcut] tab. Click [Change
Icon] and select from the icons that are displayed.
