This is highly dependent on the window- or file manager used and normally configurable to a certain degree by a user. Commonly used sizes are: 16x16 20x20/ 24x24 32x32 36x36 48x48 64x64 96x96 I'm really wondering that people are creating the icons as bitmap images. The major desktop environments under Gnu Linux (Gnome, KDE, XFCE) are currently switching to vector based images (svg) and as far as I know the next version of MS Windows will do so to. (Using a mangled version of the open format svg which will differ just so much to be incompatible) -- Did you ever realize how much text fits in eighty columns? If you now consider that a signature usually consists of up to four lines, this gives you enough space to spread a tremendous amount of information with your messages. So seize this opportunity and don't waste your signature with bullshit nobody will read.
