# 󠀁[A visual survey of site icon terminology](https://make.wordpress.org/test/2015/07/05/a-visual-survey-of-site-icon-terminology/)󠁿

Site icons recently landed in trunk using the terminology “Site icon”. We didn’t
go with “favicon”. Favicon is an under-the-hood term, one with a lot of tedious 
history. Instead, we want to package title, tagline, and icon together as site identity.

survey A visual survey is a collection of screenshots for a like set of screens 
or interfaces, such as all list table screens or all toolbar incarnations across
various devices. These screens are not presented in the context of a particular 
flow. [https://make.wordpress.org/test/tag/visual-survey/](https://make.wordpress.org/test/tag/visual-survey/).
