About Mac OS

A rounded square icon split vertically down the middle by a continuous black outline that forms a stylized smiling face. The left half is a darker saturated blue with a subtle glossy highlight near the top; the right half is a much lighter, desaturated blue/cyan with its own faint highlight, creating a two-tone face effect.

Facial features are minimal: two short vertical rectangular eyes and a simple curved smile/line that crosses the split, producing the impression of two profile faces joined into one smiling face. The icon has a thin black outline and a soft drop shadow beneath it.
