How to make previews of CC library assets appear larger in Bridge?

Question

I have files in my CC libraries, sized according to how large they need to be in my documents. The logos are about 1" x 2" in height.
While this example is of a logo, some of my other vector graphics are much more complicted, like flow charts. I did find that I can make the thumbnails larger by enlarging the artwork. For example, if I take a 5" graphic, and scale it up 10x, the thumbnail here in Bridge enlarges sufficiently.
 
But short of resizing my artwork for the sole purpose of making the thumbnail larger, how can I enlarge these thumbnails inBridge?

Hi Document Geek.

Sorry but Bridge can only show items up to 100% of their pixel dimensions. If your logos are made in Illustrator, they will show at 72 ppi so your 1" x 2" logo will be 72 x 144 pixels which in modern high resolution monitors is tiny.

About the only thing I can think of is that you make pairs of your logos so you have a big one to see in Bridge followed by the real size, followed by the next big one, followed by the real size.

Yeah, a bit of a PIA but Bridge has no enlargement capabilities built into it.

Bridge has a slider at the bottom.

Open Preference settings > Thumbnails. Are you using thumbnail generation or preview generation? If you use Previews, you can go to Advanced tab and set monitor sized Previews. Restart Bridge for changes to take effect.
