Create a favicon for the website.

Favicon comes from Favorites Icon.
It is a small icon associated with an HTML page, or an entire web site, which is displayed in the Address Bar before visiting address being used for customizing the display of a site or to promote a company logo.
Favicon is actually a file type icon with certain characteristics:

1. name must be favicon.ico
2. Supported sizes are 32x32 or 16x16 pixels
3. Maximum of 265 colors.

Before you add a favicon make sure that this kind of files are supported on the server.
To add a favicon required two operations.

1. line is inserted in the HTML head:
   
   <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
   
   
2. load (upload) on the server in the same folder associated page.
   Usually load your favicon in the root domain (no other folders of the site).

If we use a favicon for each subdomain, each part will adapt label above customizing file path associated favicon. (I recommend to specify the whole file path, not relative path)
This file is displayed by browsers: Mozilla, Firefox, Opera but not Internet Explorer.
To achieve a favicon can use a specialized graphics program, such as Adobe Photoshop to be added a plugin that allows you to save in. Ico, or online at:
