This may be missing the point somehow, but if you used some kind of "outlining" program (followed by a little editing) that creates a vector-based (instead of bitmap based) image, you could then scale to whatever size you want with perfect resolution, and then convert that size to a bitmap format like JPG. If you save the vector version, you can scale-and-save-out to as many sizes as you like. Back in the day I used Adobe Streamline for this kind of task, but I don't know if that even still exists any more.
