Clarify exact LP team Icon: requirements (14x14 vs 16x16)

[Paul Sladen]

On the Launchpad team editing pages, such as:

  https://launchpad.net/~team/+branding

The text states:

  A small image of exactly 14x14 pixels and at most 5kb in size, that can be used to identify this team.

Viewing screenshots of existing emblems, it appears that 14x14, 14x15, 15x13, 16x15 and 16x16 are all in use and allowed to be rendered at native resolution. It would be useful if the information text was more detailed as icons at this size require a lot of customisation work to make the most of the exact number of pixels available.

Location of the help text(s):

  $ grep -r 'exactly 14x14' .
  ./launchpad/lib/lp/blueprints/interfaces/sprint.py: "A small image of exactly 14x14 pixels and at most 5kb in size, "
  ./launchpad/lib/lp/registry/interfaces/distribution.py: "A small image of exactly 14x14 pixels and at most 5kb in "
  ./launchpad/lib/lp/registry/interfaces/person.py: "A small image of exactly 14x14 pixels and at most 5kb in size, "
  ./launchpad/lib/lp/registry/interfaces/projectgroup.py: "A small image of exactly 14x14 pixels and at most 5kb in "
  ./launchpad/lib/lp/registry/interfaces/product.py: "A small image of exactly 14x14 pixels and at most 5kb in "

but I haven't found the actual upload size/dimension test itself.

Interestingly, there's also:

  ./launchpad/lp/app/templates/launchpad-graphics.pt: <td>The Launchpad icon, used for bookmarks. 16 &times; 16 pixels.</td>

Seems what is perhaps happening is that LP is blocking new 16x16 uploads (allowing only 14x14), but keeps displaying exising 16x16 icons.

Maybe lp could just resize them rather than having such strict requirements?

resizing might be a nice option, but for visual consistency we'll want
a specific sized asset.
