I am using this Symbols in my work. I am trying to add a legend to this code to annotate the graph. I found this code Legend in Tikzpicture So I have now the following code:

\pgfsetlayers{signal,main}

\fill [pic actions/.try] (0,4) circle [radius=1/4];
\foreach \i in {-1,1}
\fill [shift=(90:4), xscale=\i]
\foreach \r in {1,3/2,2}{

\foreach \i in {-1,0,1}{\foreach \j in {1,2,3}{

My problem is that the legend is always small, I tried to add nodes={scale=2} which increased the text but not the arrows. I have also some emoticons in my legend which appear really small.
How can I make the legend large (including the text and the symbols and nodes and emoticons)?
Is there any better way to add a legend? Say I would like to add the phone to the legend how can I do this?
I have this result so far:
SUfor example to the legend, is it possible with\pic [fill=black] at (11,1) {SU};? – Zir Nov 11 '18 at 22:32\pic[scale=0.2] at (0.5,-3) {SU} (1.6,-3) node[right]{phone};before the\end{pgfonlayer}of the legend scope. This code is set up in such a way that the legend box will just grow accordingly. – Nov 11 '18 at 22:43
