The mini-icons are black&white device-independent bitmaps, 16x16 for VGA and
20x20 for 8514/A.  The Icon Editor can create these as well.  

I know, how can they be device-independent when the size depends on the
display resolution.  PM is to blame for that.  Both sizes ought to be
present, and PM picks the appropriate one.  If it's missing, it will
pick the closest alternative and scale it.

To see this in practice, look at an object's icon, such as the System
folder's icon using the Icon Editor.
