  For a site logo see: https://en.support.wordpress.com/site-logo/
  To see all the themes that are supported, check out the Site Logo filter http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/site-logo/ on the Theme Showcase. http://theme.wordpress.com/

  For a gravatar/blavatar (favicon) please read on.

  A wordpress.com account is a gravatar account. They are one in the same. Note that gravatars/blavatars (favicons) do not show up instantly after uploading them. Gravatar images are cached and frequently take several days to display after a change.

  Dashboard → Settings → General

  Do not keep uploading!
  Do not forget to select an image rating.

  See: http://en.support.wordpress.com/avatars/blavatars/

  For best practices for uploading gravatars, avatars and blavatars scroll down to below the video here: http://onecoolsite.wordpress.com/2010/01/24/gravatar-avatar-blavatar/

  To enable Gravatar display and hovercard display on your blog go to > Settings > Discussion and scroll way done the page to “Avatars”.
