Proper name of a tiny logo?
 

I generally use the firefox browser.

Up in the address bar to the left of a site's url is a space where a tiny blank piece of paper with its upper right had corner dog-eared/crimped appears for most sites. Sometimes, as is the case with this site, I see a small (presumably customized) icon to the left of the url. Here it appears to be the vB logo. They're all about the size of smilies. When I bookmark a site, either the tiny little default blank page logo appears or a custom tiny little logo appears. The customized little icons make it really easy for me to spot the few favorite sites I visit. Presumably they make it easier for others to readily spot a favorite site in their bookmarks too.

What is the proper name for that tiny logo that appears in the address bar please?

Umm .. favorite icon? since the file is normally named favicon.ico ...

There's also a nifty tutorial article on how to do your own.
