Creating a favicon for your website

A Favicon (short for favourites icon) is a small graphic you can associate with your website for display in web browsers. The icon appears beside the URL in a browsers address bar, as well as next to the site’s name in a bookmarks/favourites list & with the site’s title in a tab. For example Facebook has the familiar blue F icon, whilst Google uses a colourful G icon.

These icons are really easy to create. Simply grab your organization artwork, or create a new image. Try & pick something that looks intelligible & attractive in a small size.

The convert the image into an icon file. I used https://favicon.io

Finally simply upload the file, favicon.ico to the root web directory of your hosted website. Make sure your favicon file is named “favicon.ico.” When someone bookmarks your site with a browser that supports favicons, your favicon will appear.
