Add a Special Icon At Your Web Site

If you own a website, it's interesting to associate an icon to it. This is what is called a "shortcut icon". In fact, this icon will be displayed on the visitor's computer. If he chooses to bookmark your site. It will be displayed in the Favorites menu as well as in the Address bar (see below) if the user comes back to your site.

Shortcut icons work with Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft® Internet Explorer® v5.0 or later. They have no special Web server requirements and are a great way to add brand recognition without requiring the user to download a custom version of Internet Explorer.

First you must create your icon. You can either start from scratch or create an icon from an existing image (your company's logo for example).
