This module was written to allow you to customize your Odoo instance's shortcut icon (aka favicon). This is useful for branding purposes, but also for integrators who have many different Odoo instances running and need to see at a glance which browser tab does what.
The icon is shown also for portal users when the website modules are not installed.

auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0Lets you upload a custom shortcut icon (favicon) per company, which is then shown in the browser tab. Useful for branding and for telling several Odoo instances apart at a glance.
This module adds a new image field called Company Favicon on the company record. You can find it on the company form, next to the company colour field, but only users with technical/developer access rights can see it.
When a new company is created, Odoo automatically generates a default favicon based on the standard Odoo icon, with a randomly coloured bar at the bottom, so every company gets a slightly different icon out of the box. The main company is also pre-filled with the original Odoo icon when the module is installed.
The chosen icon is then used in the browser tab of every Odoo page, replacing the standard Odoo favicon. The module looks at the company currently selected in the user's session and shows that company's icon. If no company icon is found, it falls back to the standard Odoo favicon.
It works for all users, including portal users, even when the website modules are not installed. The icon is served through the standard Odoo image mechanism, so changes are reflected immediately thanks to a cache-busting parameter based on the last update time.

terminal Installation and usage
OCA documentation · Odoo 19.0Configuration
Source · Odoo 19.0Upload your favicon (16x16, 32x32, 64x64 or "as big as possible") on the company form. The file format would be ico, gif or png with 16x16, 32x32 or 64x64 pixels and 16 colors. Highers resolutions or colors support depends on the used browser, but most modern browsers do.
Note that most browsers cache favicons basically forever, so if you want your icon to show up, you'll most probably have to delete you browser cache. Some browsers can refresh the favicon, accessing the URL /web_favicon/favicon.
You have a sample SVG that can be used as template for generating your icon in /static/src/img/master_original_favicon.svg. You can also search for some favicon generators across the web.
To allow a user to edit the favicon it has to be member of group "Administration / Settings".
