Modern Favicon and Icon Development Techniques and Best Practices
Since its debut in 1999 with Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, the favicon has expanded in scope thanks to adoption by modern browsers and operating systems. Although it was originally a tiny 16×16 pixel icon appearing in a browser’s address bar, favicons now also provide high-resolution visual assets for websites pinned to a mobile device’s home screen, a Windows 10 favorites tile, and much more.
In addition to being helpful to the user, these icons are just another level of polish designers and developers can apply to help a website stand out.
