Icon Size

 

It is suggested when creating an icon that the size be a maximum of "24X24" Is that 24 pixels X 24 pixels? I am trying to create an icon for Pacific Pride Fuel Stations and that size is pretty limiting. In other words instead of trying to fit the entire name in the icon should I just use the initials? Forgive my ignorance but I'm pretty new at this!
Thanks
Ron

Yes Ron, those dimensions are always specified in pixels.

Sometimes if you build the image larger in some picture editing software and then re-size it with one of the drawing tool options the results gan be pretty pleasing and easier to visualize as you create.

No Larger Please

Anything larger can cause some GPS models to freeze up.

There is a conversation elsewhere documenting the problem and how it was solved by correctly sizing the icon.
