A favicon is that little icon you see next to a site’s URL in your internet browser or bookmarks. It’s not needed, but it’s good for branding. This picture is here to demonstrate how favicons can imprint an image in your head and reinforce branding.
Favicon.CC is my favorite favicon creator. You can create one from scratch, upload your own picture or find ones users have already created and edit them to your liking. Using this site is definitely a fun way to learn 16 x 16 pixel design and animation.
Genfavicon is a another good and simple one too. You upload your picture, crop it and save. It is extremely simple for the ones that already have a picture or logo.
I added this Dynamic Drive link because if you are ever starting from scratch, starting with a gradient background is another way to add flavor to the design.
