Pete forgot to mention something:
We don't want icons to be larger than 2x the normal sprite size. Any larger than that and it looks really bad. 2X is really the best option, because it still demonstrates the sprite's small size while also showing details. Once you hit 3-4x, you actually don't really register how small the sprite is.
edit: Please also take into account that many icons have already been made. This can, and very likely does, include some of the icons you make.
