  It seems we have a problem, then:
  
  - 8x8 emblems take up 25% of a 16x16 icon's space, rendering the icon difficult to distinguish
  - 6x6 emblems are unreadable and/or look bad (for raster icons that get scaled)
  
  Suggestions?

  What if instead of the emblem being on top of the icon, it was off to the side? Then it wouldn't matter what size the emblem is as long as it looks good where it is.
  
  You mean like this?
