<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="16x16" href="/favicon-16x16.png">

Tips for Great Favicons
Use Your Logo - Your favicon should represent your brand
High Contrast - Bold, contrasting colors are more visible at small sizes
No Text - Text becomes illegible at 16x16. Use symbols or initials instead
Padding Helps - Add some breathing room around your icon for better visibility
Test Thoroughly - Check your favicon across different browsers and devices
Update Regularly - Refresh your favicon when you rebrand or update your logo
