It is a 16x16 px graphic that you load in the root directory.
I do web development and can help if wanted.
HOORAY! It's 3:16 A.M. EST, November 10, 2013, and I just noticed the UHH favicon in my browser. Thanks a lot.

Will someone please, Please, PLEASE design a tasteful UHH icon that the Admin can assign to this URL so that I can get to the site by clicking on the icon? Thanks in advance.
This would have to be converted to an icon on a computer; I'm not sure how to do it on an iPad.

For my iPad, I used a 99ยข app called "Touch Icon" along with the attached photo and created one in about 5 minutes.

Well Lookee thar !! Shows that it CAN be done. I know that it's difficult to get much detail in a 16x16 Favicon - but at least now we have the option of using GIF and PNG formats instead of the ICO/BMP.

Here is a pretty good overview of the ICO process - -

I know one must constantly worry about copyright issues in web site design, however I am hoping that over time, perhaps Admin can come up with a prettier design - although I DO realize that this IS the Ugly Hedgehog - - :-(

As you can see by the results below - - converting the suggestions posted above (which I do find quite clever) to a 16x16 format doesn't produce a usable Favicon. (I had to store in the GIF format as UHH won't display ICO or BMP)
Hedgehog FavIcon 1 - just the head of the Hedgehog posted above
Hedgehog FavIcon 2
