How to block a favicon set by the server?

Question

I don't want favicon for my website. Unfortunately my web hosting service imposes one. All my pages shows a favicon with the name of my hosting service.

How can I get rid of the (commmercial) favicon?

I could set a customised favicon but it is a personal website and I don't know what (very little) image could reflect me... And even if I found an idea, I don't have the time or skills to create a beautiful image.

I thought putting the html code without actually sending a image : (favicon.png does not exist)

<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="img/favicon.png" />

But it's not working (it doesn't block the default favicon).

I could put a white image to override the commercial favicon but the rendering isn't beautiful (white empty favicon on gray browser...)

Here! I made you a favicon :) Use it to your heart's content (if you like it).
