Favicon Creation Guide

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

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
