Useful site - favikon.com
Favicons are tiny images that show up next to a web site’s name in your browsers’ favorites/bookmarks. They make it easy to find a bookmarked site with just a glance amongst possibly hundreds of bookmarks/favorites as well as making a site just that little bit easier to remember. Favikon.com is a web site where you can create your own favicon from an existing image. This is useful if you don’t want to download and install extra software. Simply upload an image (such as your logo) and the web site will help you resize it and generate it in the right image format.

It’s main limitation in that you must keep the wording of each menu button to around 17 characters otherwise it doesn’t look right.
