# applicationIcon

The icon to display for the app in the About panel.

```
static let applicationIcon: NSApplication.AboutPanelOptionKey
```

## Discussion

The value associated with this key is an [`NSImage`](/documentation/AppKit/NSImage) object. If you do not specify an image, AppKit looks for an image with the name `NSApplicationIcon`. If neither is available, this method uses the generic app icon.
