A multi-resolution favicon.ico, individual PNG icons at standard sizes (16, 32, 48, 150, 180, 192, 512 px), and a site.webmanifest file referencing them correctly.
A simple, high-contrast square image or logo — intricate detail tends to disappear at the small sizes favicons are actually displayed at.
Upload the files to your site's root and link the manifest and icons in your HTML head — standard steps for any favicon package, well documented for whatever platform you're using.
Because every size is generated locally in one pass, you get a complete, consistent icon set without manually resizing an image half a dozen times.
