I'm using the bluemarine theme and I've successfully changed the logo in the template. So now all my pages have my logo intead of the Drupal logo. But the URL still has the Drupal logo.

Also, I'm using Firefox as my browser. Each tab also has the Drupal logo, not my custom logo.

Anyone know how to change the Drupal "URL" logo?

Thanks,
-Adam

That little icon next to the URL is called a favicon. Google will tell you how to make a new one.

Here's a tutorial I found to walk me through it. Thought it might be helpful to others.

There is a file called favicon.ico where you installed Drupal.

Remove to get no icon, or replace with any icon you like.

More here http://favicon.com/

Can anyone help me out with changing my marine logo with another? Do I just create the logo in something like photoshop? I'm not a programmer....do I need to know certain measurements in the creation of the logo? I know that when I have the logo I upload it or path it to the administer/theme/marine, but how do i get started? Thanks!

i think what they're missing here is not the instructions above, but you folks neglected to give the newbies some info on how to point _drupal_ specifically at the favicon.ico of your chioice.

as an admin, go into drupal for your site and under site building go to —> themes, then —> configure.

as in my localhost configuration, it'd be found —>

http://localhost/drupal/admin/build/themes/settings

in the global settings (and, as i like to be safe, also in your regular user theme and admin theme, if they differ), scroll down and find the settings for "Shortcut icon settings." there you'll probably see the "Use the default shortcut icon" setting. uncheck that, and using the path box for "Path to custom icon," point drupal towards wherever in the drupal setting you put your own image file you want to be the favicon.ico. save the configuration (and remember to repeat for your specific theme & admin theme, as i said, just to be safe).

after saving all that, re-load the page, you should see the shortcut/favicon in the url bar everywhere on your drupal site.

if you have a multisite, repeat the above for each of your /sites/example.com/ & /sites/sub.example.com and each of their themes for their shortcut/favicon also.

that should do if for you in drupal.

you've not spent much time in the forums-- after you've answered the same question 239842384762384972 times because people simply refuse to read what's already been written you're likely to have quite a different point of view, lol. But thanks for clarifying-- I'm sure it will help future readers of this thread.
