My guess is that some piece of the system has cached the wrong size of the icon, causing it to display in launch pad fuzzy. Finder/Spotlight/ Launchd or some combination thereof. Finder and spotlight can generally be resolved by relaunching them, launch services would need its database built, which can be done using a utility such as Cocktail or via the command line.
