What is a custom favicon upgrade?

A favicon, short for favourite icon, is the small image shown in browser tabs, bookmarks and some search results. It normally uses a simplified version of a logo or another recognisable part of a brand.

The Custom favicon design upgrade gives you a professionally prepared favicon that remains clear at very small sizes.

Why choose a custom designed Favicon?

While you can upload your own favicon if you already have one, not every image or logo will work well when scaled down to such a small size.

Choosing our Favicon design upgrade gives you the benefit of having a graphic designer:

  • create a favicon specifically tailored to your brand,
  • ensure it looks good across all browsers and devices,
  • adapt your logo (if necessary) to make sure it works well at all sizes.
