Change favicon for SharePoint 2013

If you want to change the favicon of your site to use your own logo instead of SharePoint icon, please proceed as follows:

Default SharePoint favicon.





Create favicon  (16x16), save to disk (e.g. faviconSP).
http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/
Copy to [C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\TEMPLATE\IMAGES\].


In SharePoint Designer open your site Master Pages, then select the master page.
Now click "check out" and "Edit File in Advanced Mode".

Find:
<SharePoint:SPShortcutIcon runat="server"
IconUrl=”/_layouts/15/images/favicon.ico?rev=23/”




Replace "favicon.ico" with favicon name previously created.





Save and Check In.
Reset IIS, clear browser cache and check.
