The default icon is the Joomla! logo, but you may change it to suit your site.

By default, the Joomla! favico can be found in the /images directory. Some templates, however, will contain code that redirect the browser to /templates/template_name/icon. To determine where your new favico should be, examine /templates/index.php and look for code that resembles: <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://yoursite.com/templates/your_template/icon/favicon.ico" >
