You’ve probably noticed that some sites have a different icon in your internet browser from the standard internet explorer or firefox icon.

Some of them actually look pretty cool, but more importantly, they help to “brand” a site and make it stand out.
The icon, called a “favicon”, is also used in the broswer “Favorites/bookmarked sites” list when a visitor adds that site, which again helps that site stand out and be easier to spot, making it more likely that the visitor will remember the site and come back.
