Win 7 x64 bit all the latest updates AMD Black 7980 HD, Screen resolution 1920 x 1080
I normally don't use desktop icons, but I decided to put the desktop icons for HOS and ST4X up to remind me to spend some time with them on my PC instead of just my tablet.
Anyways the icons do not scale at all. They are horribly pixelated. I used the "create desktop shortcut" from steam to generate them.

We've uploaded the icon at the only size Steam allows. Not sure what else we can do.
I see that I missed some Linux icons which I can fix.

fallen Hmmm. I don't know enough about computer graphics to give you the answer, but Icons from AAA games (no offense intended I like your guys's better) scale. For instance The icon for CIV BE looks crisp: no pixelization. Same Machine.

I.e. GIMP will let you make any icons you want.
Just draw as many glyphs as you feel necessary in the sizes and formats you want.
Once you have them all proper, create a new RGB surface and copy all there as layers, aligning by the top-left corner. Then export it with the name .ico and select proper formats for each layer.
I suggest at least 16x16, 32x32 and 48x48 px glyphs, with 8/1 and 32/8 bit depths.
