Code Sample

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QLabel, QHBoxLayout, QApplication, QWidget
from pyqt_svg_label import SvgLabel


class IconTitleWidget(QWidget):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.__initUi()

    def __initUi(self):
        iconLbl = SvgLabel()
        iconLbl.setSvgFile('ico/dark-notepad.svg')

        titleLbl = QLabel()
        titleLbl.setText('Dark Notepad')
        
        # get the point size of the titleLbl's font
        title_lbl_size = titleLbl.font().pointSize()

        # to match the iconLbl's size with titleLbl's font size (usually double size is appropriate)
        iconLbl.setFixedSize(title_lbl_size * 2, title_lbl_size * 2)

        lay = QHBoxLayout()
        lay.addWidget(iconLbl)
        lay.addWidget(titleLbl)

        self.setLayout(lay)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    import sys

    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    ex = IconTitleWidget()
    ex.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

Result

If iconLbl.setFixedSize(title_lbl_size * 2, title_lbl_size * 2) is not included in the code sample, size of svg icon will be adjusted to fit the size of the window.
