Take the 2-minute tour ×  If I link to a favicon in my head from
another domain will it work ok? I want to use the same favicon
as an existing site, and my new site may end up being a
different domain altogether or a sub domain of the existing one.
Thanks a lot  share|improve this question add comment  2 Answers

rel="shortcut icon" href="your url here">  It'll work fine, but
leeching (stealing bandwidth from another server) isn't cool.
Host it on your own server or ask the webmaster for permission.
share|improve this answer add comment  Yes you may do this,
favicon is treated just as any other HTTP resources on page, so
it can be external.  share|improve this answer add comment  Your
