Yes please!!! As great as the write.as logo looks as a favicon, it’s not mine! 🙂

Just want to bump this topic to remind everyone that we can still change your blog’s favicon to whatever custom one you’d like. Just send us an email at `hello [@] write.as` including the favicon & your Write.as username.

## Just released!

Now all Pro users can upload their own favicon! Just go to your blog’s **Customize** page and click the image under “Favicon” to upload a file.

 ![favicon-preview](https://discuss.write.as/uploads/default/original/2X/3/3dcf4969284578934a5e29a3945e77ccf44cd77e.png)

If you’ve already contacted us about uploading an icon for you, you should see that your icon is still there – but now you can edit it yourself!

Please feel free to share any questions / comments / feedback!

Thanks!  
Now I can delete my javascript code for putting the favicon in place.

I don’t have the option in Customize to replace the favicon. Are you still rolling it out to Pro users or am I a fluke? I only have one blog and it was created over a year ago. Have I messed something up?

Thanks for any advice or answer @matt

Hmm, no it should be available to everyone! Can you please send a screenshot of your Customize page? You should see it near the top, next to the “title” field.

Amazontrust …  
Anyway, what used to work for me (haven’t tried it of late) was to use a firefox privacy stripped down browser, such as librewolf, and try to upload a new icon. It would fail, and then revert to the standard. YMMV

Right, there’s no way to remove the icon at the moment, besides replacing it.

@matt the current favicon implementation seems broken. I see only an .ICO but the iOS/Android icons + the HQ .PNGs do not exist. You can check it here and also create a script to generate favicons like this website does (they have a free generator that generates a pack of favicons to make it compatible with all browsers)
