Icons should be developed and saved at Standard (S) size, though their actual size and appearance in the interface may change dynamically.  When developed at standard size, icons should fit loosely within the 3 x 3 icon-safe subcell of a standard 75px grid cell, as specified in the [[Design Team/Human Interface Guidelines/The Sugar Interface/Layout Guidelines|layout section]].

Notice that when the interface scales your icons, strokes do not necessarily scale proportionally to the overall icon size.  This ensures that the stroke weight remains visible enough at all sizes to convey its weight and color, but it may also limit the granularity with which you use strokes, which could begin to blend together at smaller sizes.  The following chart relates the various icon sizes to their corresponding scale factors and stroke weights.  We strongly suggest that you try rendering your icons at XS, S, and M sizes in order to tweak their appearance for optimal legibility.
