Presumably you refer to the icons that appear on your Safari Start Page?


If the saved website icons have been replaced by single letters, you need to selectively delete a single corrupt cookie from your Safari cached data.


From iPad settings:

Settings > Apps > Safari > Advanced > Website Data...


Allow the Website Data list to populate. When the list appears, in the Search dialogue, enter "cdn-apple.com" (without the quotes). Only one entry should appear in the remaining list; swipe to the left, then select Delete.


Your Safari favourites page should now refresh. If necessary, force-close and re-open Safari.
