+## Desktop file
+
+The [openage.desktop](openage.desktop) file can be found in this directory and will be installed at
+`/usr/share/applications/openage.desktop`.
+
+## Desktop icon
+
+In lieu of a logo/icon for openage a cropped version of [assets/gaben.png](/assets/gaben.png) is
+created instead. See [assets/CMakeLists.txt](/assets/CMakeLists.txt) for details on how the icon
+is generated. The final icon will be installed at `/usr/share/pixmaps/openage.png` via
+`make install`.
