I doubt that it has any effect on the SERPs, but a favicon is great for branding and makes your page stand out in a users bookmarks or favorites as the browser pulls the favicon and uses it instead of a generic page symbol.

Hi,
Favicon will give some effect in SEO.
It is a one way of branding to your website..
What is Favicon, sorry to ask but I don't know much about it?
A Favicon is the small icon that shows up in the address bar at the beginning of the address in your browser. Modern browsers also use the Favicon in their bookmark or favorites list. It is a special image file with the dimensions of 16px X 16px and a .ico file extension and is placed in the root directory of your site with the name favicon.ico. There is a meta tag available to direct the browser to the favicon, but modern browsers check the root directory for a favicon.ico file without the meta tag.

The Favicons are very helpful for the SEO.Normally the sites the Face book and twitter favicons on their site.The user can go to those sites easily from the site.So, they are helpful for getting traffic easily.
Nothing that I've seen shows the favicon impacts SEO.
It does however, add a new professional look to your site if you use one.
I don't think fevicon effect your SERP ranking. But it makes your website more attractive and brandable.
It will not affect your ranking just looks cool
hi GillBate,
favicon will not help you in the SERPs as search engines don't take them into account.
instead you can have them in your website which will help you brand your website better.
kindest,
