Attention all business owners!⁠⁠ ⁠⁠You’re going to want to make sure you have this tiny feature added to your website. 

⁠⁠A favicon!⁠⁠ Also known as a Browser Icon or Sub Mark.

You may be wondering, Maggie, what is a favicon?!⁠⁠

⁠⁠A Favicon is a website icon that sits in the browser of your search engine. ⁠⁠

⁠⁠If you’re on a desktop, take a look at your browsers, I’m sure that almost all have a Favicon. Chances are you rely on the FAvicon’s as you navigate your browser too.

This tiny—and I mean tiny, 16×16 pixels—image adds another piece of branding to your website when people have multiple tabs open.⁠⁠

And if you’re like me, I have WAY too many tabs open, so relying on the Favicon is a life-saver!

I bet you are able to tell what some of these browsers are below, all because of the Favicon. *And don’t judge me, yes I have a MILLION tabs open 🙂 *

⁠⁠A Favicon can help the user quickly identify what is in the tab—this is such a simple tool that keeps your branding in the forefront of the user’s mind.⁠⁠ It not only shows up in open tabs, but it also shows up within your bookmarked websites.

⁠⁠I’m sure you already rely on Favicons in your daily life—open your computer and see if you are jumping between tabs based on the favicon or the page title.⁠⁠

I love ensuring all my clients have a custom favicon so their branding is always at the top of a browser and clearly identified. ⁠⁠

How do you get a Favicon?

Brand Designers can make your Favicon. It can be an element from your logo or pattern. You do not want it super complicated as I mentioned, the Favicon is VERY small.

I provide all my brand clients with a Favicon/ Sub Mark. They can use this on their website or also as a piece of branding on smaller items. You can get Sub Marks in my Branding packages.

I design with simplicity in mind. Your Favicon won’t get lost or be too small to identify.

If you didn’t know what a Favicon was before, I bet you will now, and notice all the websites that don’t have one;).

⁠⁠Are you a multiple tabs open on Google type of person too? Or do you keep your browser clean and limited to a few?👇🏻
