In my case was a cache problem. Below the solution worked for me:
1. below replacing files clear the cache of browsers (IE9, OP12, FF13,
CH19). Repeat the operation if needed.
2. rename the default files (i.e.: __favicon.ico and __favicon.png
3. put new files in static folder
4. open the browser and go to app url
Anyway in layout.html there is this instruction (line 34 in last trunk):
<!-- Place favicon.ico and apple-touch-icon.png in the root of your
domain and delete these references -->
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="{{=URL('static','favicon.ico')}}"
type="image/x-icon">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="{{=URL('static','favicon.png')}}">
At last, if you modified the routes.py, check the routes_in section for:
(r'.*:/favicon.ico', r'/init/static/favicon.ico')
where init is your app.
