Favicon
What is a Favicon?
A Favicon is a graphic created by a graphic or web designer which, in supported web browsers, displays in the address bar or at the beginning of an individual tab. The Favicon image may also display next to a bookmark or history entry.
The Favicon image must be either 16 x 16 pixels, or 32 x 32 pixels in size. The image format should be either PNG, GIF, or ICO. Some browsers support animated Favicons, however it is recommended that these be avoided or set not to repeat. A repeating animated GIF could become distracting and, ultimately, be undesired by the end user.
