Often, there are two versions of icons in a file's resource fork.
One is for normal (32x32) display, the other for small (16x16).

For example, one could have a folder icon:

................
........#####...
........#XXX#...              ....###.
...##########...              .######.
...#OOOOOOOO#...              .#OOOO#.
...#OOOOOOOO#...              .#OOOO#.
...#OOOOOOOO#...              .######.
...#OOOOOOOO#...
...##########...
................

  Large version            Small version


With sampled shrinking of the large version (like Gnome Panel does),
it will come out kind of blury:


  ....;;,.
  .,::xx:.
  .:OOOO:.
  .:OOOO:.
  .,;;;;,.

Large version,
 resampled



Mm... ASCII art.
