My project comprises of master page and content pages. I just wanted to add a logo to be shown at browser tab using favicon. I have an image saved as project 'fg_logo.ico' in my solution explorer
without any folder. The image size is 16X16. I tried in local host but not displaying the logo.
Can I use .png extension files too?

<link rel="icon" href="/fg_logo.ico" type="image/x-icon"/>

Do you any error on Developer Tool's console tab? I guess the Path is wrong.

Nothing to do extra just do 1 thing:

Try placing a ~ and set the link elements to runat="server"

like:

<link rel="icon" href="~/fg_logo.ico" type="image/x-icon" runat="server"/>
