I would like to create a professional quality icon. Currently, I have created an icon with IcoFX. The icon looks great -- when it is scaled at the right size. When it gets scaled to the wrong size, the text in the icon becomes fuzzy. Is there anything that I can do about this?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

Generally, you have to make each size of icon more or less from scratch as oppose to simple down sample.
Try the Icon handbook by John Hicks. It's good primer in making professional looking icons.
You should use software to create an *.ico file with different frames -- one for each resolution. I can recommend Gif Movie Gear, although it isn't free.
With a multi-resolution *.ico, the icon wiil display the frame that is called for instead of scaling the available frame. This way, you control the icon's appearance at all display sizes.
