Builders Collective: Favicons: Branding the Address Bar

Favicons: Branding the Address Bar

I was asked the question, “How can I create the icon that appears next to my URL in the address bar of my browser?” The answer is the favicon, a small 16 pixel x 16 pixel graphic saved as a Windows .ICO file. If you are using Adobe Photoshop, you will need a plugin to be able to open and save .ICO files.

There is a great tutorial on How To Create A Favicon In Photoshop at www.photoshopsupport.com by Jennifer Apple.
