Its down to you to create the artwork or to hire a designer to do it for you.

Re: HOW TO GET A ICON FOE WEBPAGE

You can use any number of programs to create your icon,
or there is a great site that will do it all for you, if you have a pic you would like to use.

http://www.favicon.cc/ It's a bit long, and I learned to post it my self.

link rel="icon" href="http://YOUR SITE/favicon.gif" type="image/gif"/

Once you have created your picture you just add this code to the top of your index page.

using a gif image it can be animated.

If you use the http://www.html-kit.com/favicon/ site, and then download the favicon package, there are instructions in the package.

Once you have the icon, upload it to the root folder of your web site. Then add the following code in the head structure of your "index.html" page.

Code:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico">
<link rel="icon" type="image/gif" href="animated_favicon1.gif">


That's all it takes. When someone connects to your web site, the icon will appear in the browser address bar. You should only need to add the code to your "index.html" page. The rest of your pages will inherit it. You may have to initially force a couple of browser refreshes (F5 or Ctrl-R), to make it appear.
