SharePoint Branding: Favicons for your SP site

A way to customize your SharePoint site is by adding a Favicon. This is a generally 16x16 pixels image that usually shows the organization's logo. It is in .ico format and It helps branding your site.

In Chrome, Favicons are located in each page tab. However, in IE and other browsers, it is usually located at the left side of the URL.



If you want to add a favicon to your SharePoint 2010 site, you will need to create one. There are several sites where you can create one but I am including the one I used for this case which is http://www.favicon.cc/

1. Upload your favicon ( .ico ) to a SharePoint library.
2. Go to the Master Page. (Site Actions -> Site Settings -> Master Pages)


      

4. Search for the following tag:

<SharePoint:SPShortcutIcon runat="server" IconUrl="PLACE YOUR FAVICON URL HERE"/>

You will have to change the Icon URL 

5. Update and you are done!
