## Solution

Favicons help with brand recognition and UX. Include multiple formats: `<link rel='icon' href='/favicon.ico'>` for legacy, `<link rel='icon' type='image/svg+xml' href='/favicon.svg'>` for modern browsers, and `<link rel='apple-touch-icon' href='/apple-touch-icon.png'>` for iOS. 32x32px for .ico, 180x180px for Apple touch icon.
