BlackBerry smartphones use three different sizes for icons. The small size is used for small buttons. The medium size is used for components. The large size is the most common and is used in many places such as action bars and menus.
Keep the main graphical elements within the inner area of the icon. This approach allows for a buffer zone around the icon.

Indicators are small icons used in the content area that provide additional information (for example, status). If you create an indicator, follow the guidelines for the other icons including the functional colors for content area icons. Reduce the amount of detail and reduce the number of pixels by 1 for the largest lines. Follow the size and alignment guidelines below:

Alignment

Recommended: Make sure that indicators are smaller than the adjacent text. Bottom-align indicators to the baseline. |
 |
Not recommended: The first indicator is not bottom-aligned. The second indicator is larger than the text. |
