Using laravel new site (Laravel Installer 1.3.2, Laravel 5.2), I also have a zero byte favicon.ico file generated under site/public. Your browser is likely ignoring it.

Browsers can be overly aggressive about caching favicons, so it's possible that this icon is being pulled from the cache of a previous development site or web server you might've run at the same URL.

Try updating the favicon.ico in the public folder, and then try some of the options here for forcing a favicon refresh.

It's possible that the Laravel team purposely included en empty/invalid favicon so that the browser wouldn't cache the icon they included, allowing you to create and add your own without having to jump through hoops to force the refresh.
