It's possible to have tiny symbolic emblems that still convey information. Here's a screenshot from my Dropbox folder in Dolphin, with 16x16 icons plus the tiny little emblems that Dropbox adds: F6297941: 8 emblem on 16 icon.png <https://phabricator.kde.org/F6297941> Those emblems are technically 8x8, but the outermost pixels nearly transparent, so they're essentially 6x6. Since they're round rather than square, even more of the base icon is visible. Yet they're still perfectly distinguishable. Perhaps all that's needed here is to make the emblems a bit smaller within their 8x8 box, and to round the corners of the square ones more.
