The app we developed in the main tutorial uses a default "gray bee" icon when it is packaged. Let's personalize this application by configuring it to use our own icon.

In BeeWare, the term *icon* can refer to two different things:
7+
8+
- **Application icon** — The image that represents your app on the desktop, dock, or home screen.
9+
10+
- **Runtime icons** — Images used inside your app’s interface (for example, in buttons or tables).
11+

This tutorial describes how to set the *application icon*. It will not discuss how to package and use runtime icons.

Every platform uses a different format for application icons - and some platforms need *multiple* icons in different sizes and shapes. To account for this, Briefcase provides a shorthand way to configure an icon once, and then have that definition expand in to all the different icons needed for each individual platform.
