Favicon - Wikipedia

"A favicon (short for favorites icon), also known as a website icon, shortcut icon, url icon, or bookmark icon is a 16×16, 32×32 or 64×64 pixel square icon associated with a particular website or webpage. A web designer can create such an icon and install it into a website (or webpage) by several means, and most graphical web browsers will then make use of it. Browsers that provide favicon support typically display a page's favicon in the browser's address bar and 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."

HTML5:

<link href="/YOUR_PATH/favicon.ico" rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" />

HTML:

<link rel="icon" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon" href="http://example.com/image.ico">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="http://example.com/image.png">
<link rel="icon" type="image/gif" href="http://example.com/image.gif">

Internet Explorer has a slightly different format:

<link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="http://www.example.com/myicon.ico"/>
<link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="/somepath/myicon.ico"/>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/misc/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

http://favicon-generator.org/ says to use:

  <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
  <link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
