how was the non upscale version look?
either way it looks like swords
Also better resize to 48x48 manually, because if you leave it at 77x77 Windows will have to downscale to 48x48 itself, and the downscaling used is very bad
i can resize anything directly from AI
this is 48x48

i looked up icons usually require to have resolution 128x128
how about this

you wont be able to see it
in Windows it's 256x256 for hidef icons
