I have made many Custom folder Icons by opening the image in preview and copying and pasting into the folder Icon space when you get Info on the Folder. Now under Mojave I am getting a Blurry Icon? Not sure what is happening!!!
here is the image:

MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID, macOS Mojave (10.14.1)
If you require a higher resolution the procedure is more complicated.
Go to folder /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources.
Copy the file Multipleitemsicon.icns to your desktop.
Open e.g Powerpoint app and insert the icns file.
Expand the resolution to 1024 x 768
Then put the image you want on top of the icon (can be another inserted image or a new drawing).
Now put the transparancy of the icns image to 100% and group it with your image.
Now save the group as a PNG file.
Open the PNG file in preview app.
Select the image and copy to the clipboard.
Paste from the "get info" of your file.
Now you have a high resolution image to replace the file icon.

I have custom folders Icon that once I paste the image on the Icon, (command Info) it creates an Icon file on the folder....
I have not seen this until Mojave...
How do I fix this this issue?
Nobody answers.. I guess I will have to submit feedback even thought I don't get a response there either...
icon? is a hidden file . Use shift-cmd-. to switch between display and not display the hidden files.
Thanks for responding... I end up downloading an ICON app from the store and creating new ones....
This seems as a great solution but very elaborate.... Thanks for your help.....
this is really awesome!!! It solved my problem
You are welcome !
