Favicon

A favicon (short for favorites icon), also known as a shortcut icon, website icon, URL icon, or bookmark icon is a 16×16 or 32×32 pixel square associated with a particular website or webpage.

Favicons are usually an ICO type image, but any type of image can be linked to as a favicon. It is better to have an ICO image as a favicon so it will have a higher chance to be rendered properly. Browsers that provide favicon support typically display a page's favicon in the browser's address bar which is next to the page's name in a list of bookmarks. Browsers that support a tabbed document interface typically show a page's favicon next to the page's title on the tab.
