The small icon corresponding to a webpage (located on the left-hand side of your browser's tabs, bookmarks, and favorites) is called a Favicon and is a particular type of image file, an ".ICO" image. You can choose which image you want to make into a Favicon and utilize it in your site by performing the following steps:
Creating the .ICO image
- Create a new (or crop an existing) image with your logo or branding.
- Save the file as a JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, or BMP format.
- Navigate to an ICO generator (we recommend Dynamic Drive).
- Follow the site's directions to upload your image, convert it, and save the resulting .ICO image file.

Notes
- If you use a Bookmark Icon on your corporate website, you can ask your web development team for the image and use that in Centercode, too. They might also be able to show you an ideal logo image to turn into an .ICO file if the .ICO doesn't already exist.
