# Favicon Creation Guide

This document explains how to create a proper favicon from the 📈 emoji for the Markov Economics application.

## Recommended Approach

To create a professional favicon from the 📈 emoji, follow these steps:

1. Use a graphic design tool like:
   - Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop
   - Free tools like GIMP or Inkscape
   - Online favicon generators

2. Create a 16x16 pixel and 32x32 pixel version of the favicon with the 📈 symbol

3. Export in PNG and ICO formats

## Alternative: Using Online Tools

1. Visit a favicon generator site like favicon.io or realfavicongenerator.net
2. Upload an image of the 📈 emoji or use their emoji tool
3. Generate the favicon package
4. Replace the placeholder files in the `app/static/img/` directory with the generated files

## SVG Version

We've included an SVG version that renders the emoji directly:
- File: `app/static/img/favicon.svg`

This works in modern browsers but may not be supported in all contexts where favicons are used.

## Implementation Notes

The HTML already includes references to all favicon versions:
- SVG version (modern browsers)
- PNG versions (32x32 and 16x16)
- Apple touch icon
