Hello everyone, 

I am working on an Emoji proposal for Unicode, and one of the requirements is to send your image in dimensions of 18×18 and 72×72 pixels. when I'm resizing my design as requested, the out come is blurry and seems way too small. 

Do those dimensions make sense? or am I miss understanding something?

Thank's

They want them at specific pixel sizes, so vectors don't matter here (except to export from).

The 'problem' is probably as Monika said. 18 or 72 pixels square is not a lot of space to convey information. Does your image work represented as a grid of colours this size? That's what you're working with:

If I understand correctly, the emoji would be part of a font.

Probably as svg, so Illustrator vectors would be the right approach.

But these vectors have to look good at various sizes, so they want to see examples at 18×18 and 72×72 pixels.

If the output looks blurry, then probably your design is not suitable for that size.

And that is what they want to test with that requirement.

Emojis are used in a test message on the phone. You know how small those are. But still you need to be able to tell the smiling face and the moon apart from each other.
