Website Shortcut Icon White Background
<p>Hi ive setup a Favorite icon one my site and when I try to make a shortcut on the desktop for the website it creates a icon on the shortcut that looks like this:</p>

<p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/ehb1o.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/ehb1o.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>

<p>But I need it to look like this:</p>

<p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/EhvRn.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/EhvRn.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>

<p>Can anybody suggest what might be happening and what is needed to correct this issues. </p>

<pre><code>&lt;link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://elliotrees.co.uk/favicon.ico" /&gt;
