Icons for custom VBA button

I've created a button that I've implemented into inventor. However I am at a loss as to how to create an icon for the button. I've read all the articles i can find (such as)

http://wikihelp.autodesk.com/Inventor/enu/2013/Help/1310-Autodesk1310/1364-Fundamen1364/1365-User_In...

 

I've restarted the program and the computer multiple times but to no avail.

If I had hair I'd be pulling it out.

Suggestions please.

Currently there is a bug in Inventor 2013 for display the large icon of the macro command when you place it onto the ribbon panel, but if you display the small icon it should work. You can check the status of the bug status with providing the ID1463005 to us.

You're still limited to a small button in Inventor 2013.
