Though favicon greatly improves the branding and visibility, however, I have noticed that some brands do not assign or upload a favicon for their website – such rare examples include the website of Coca Cola. I guess the web designer of Coca Cola forgot to upload the favicon or maybe other possibility is that Coca Cola have not yet considered to design a favicon for the company.
