The top image is a vector graphics drawing which has been scaled. The bottom image was a raster image of the original drawing which has then been scaled by the same amount. Scaling in = interpolation/antialiasing/just scale the pixels depending on the viewer and scale; scaling out = blurring of pixels by averaging of neighbours.
