How to create Builderfly favicon?
To change the Builderfly store favicon, you need to create one. So, the most important thing is to remember that favicon is a small version of your logo, that represents your brand. For example, Builderfly favicon has only the “Bird” symbol in it, which is made of our logo design. In other words, a favicon should be 16 x 16 pixels or 32 x 32 pixels, which means that no words will fit in and be readable there. That is why in Builderfly favicon you see only the small “Bird” instead of our full “Builderfly” name. Keep that in mind while creating your own favicon, because it is too small to be comprehensive. Also, it has to be in ICO, GIF, JPG or PNG formats
