What you're referring to is a favicon (favorites icon). They're easy to generate and display.
First, you need to generate a standard Windows icon file of your company logo. The .ico file needs to be in standard Windows icon file format, or it may not work. There are many ways to create a .ico file from scratch, but the easiest way is to use one of the free favicon generators available online - e.g. Dynamic Drive's FavIcon Generator.
Simply upload a GIF, JPEG, PNG or BMP version of your logo and FavIcon Generator will instantly create the necessary 16x16 favicon.ico file.
Once downloaded, place this favicon.ico file in the 'root' directory on your web server - i.e. where your main index page is located. And voila!
Whenever your site is bookmarked, the icon will subsequently show up on the user's Favorites list. And when users visit your site, the icon will also be displayed in the location bar.
Q. I'm a sysadmin/webmaster. How can I display my company logo as an icon in the location bar and bookmark menu of a browser?
