SVG favicon
SVG is the best format for modern favicons: it scales beautifully and stays crisp on high‑DPI screens.
Pros
- Perfect scaling (no blur).
- Smaller file size for many logos.
- Easy to maintain from a single source SVG.
What to watch out for
- Avoid external fonts/images — embed or convert to outlines.
- Make sure viewBox and artwork bounds are correct.
- Keep a favicon.ico fallback.
Basic HTML
<link rel="icon" href="/favicon.svg" type="image/svg+xml">

FAQ
Will Google show my SVG favicon?
Search engines often use a rasterized version. Providing PNG sizes helps.

Technically possible, but not recommended for compatibility and UX.
