# Icons

The last thing we need for a minimum-viable-app is to provide app icons. Apps on elementary OS provide icons hinted in 5 sizes: 16px, 32px, 48px, 64px, and 128px. These icons will be shown in AppCenter, the applications menu, the dock, Notifications, System Settings, and many other places throughout the system.
