A Favicon is also know as:
- Favorite Icon
- Shortcut Icon
- Website Icon
- Tab Icon
- URL Icon
- Bookmark Icon
It is the icon associated with a particular website or webpage. Browsers that provide favicon support typically display a page’s favicon in the browser’s address bar, sometimes in the history page and next to the page’s name if you list it as a bookmark.

How to make your own Favicon (Basic)
