The bookmark icon is the favicon of your site. To add a custom favicon to your site, follow the instructions here: Adding a favicon to a static HTML page

Basically, create a 16x16 pixel image, save it as a PNG called favicon.png. Put that file in the root of your web site and then add the following to the <head> section of your website:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.png" type="image/png">

Be sure to add that code to every page.

Also note that it can take a little bit for the icon to update in your browser. Clearing your browser's cache, and sometimes manually trying to load the favicon.png file by going to that file in your browser, then refreshing a few times, can force the update.

  • sorry sir , I am asking concern only with my browsers , not any language such as java or javascript or HTML . I would like to customize bookmark icon in my browser. for instance : "aaaaaa" addons can customize your browwers icon. And now I can see google site bookmark item with yahoo site favicon. :) – Cataclysm Jan 30 '14 at 02:49
  • Ah I see. You don't want to customize your own site's icon for everyone else, but merely customize other sites for yourself? Sorry for the confusion. That differs per browser, but you might find results with a simple web search on the topic. – Jesse Dunlap Jan 30 '14 at 02:50

    Assuming I'm understanding your question correctly, this might help you, although it's not really easy to do: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/3032/google_chrome_how_to_change_icons_on_the_bookmarks_bar/ – Jesse Dunlap Jan 30 '14 at 03:02
  • yes, Thanks sir . it is greatly useful link for me. But I have not still test it yet because I am using **Mac** . – Cataclysm Jan 30 '14 at 03:09
  • I think it would be more trouble than its worth in that case. Google Chrome is designed to pull that icon from the website, and not really allow you to customize it. I'm afraid I don't have any more suggestions for you. Best of luck, though. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. – Jesse Dunlap Jan 30 '14 at 03:13
