    I wanted to know how sites such as DP get their brand logo in the address bar and on tabs when users are browsing the site.

    Does it just come naturally as your site gets bigger?

    God bless you. Sorry I'm still laughing at the "does it just come naturally as your site gets bigger" part. Sorry.

    Its called a favicon. Its a small 16x16px image that you make in a software like Photoshop and then convert it to a .ico

    stupid people laughing on you. Just don't listen to them, they didn't knew that eather.
    Create a small 16x16 icon and name it favincon.ico Then add this code in the top of the html page.
    <link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">

    done :)
