This is a good improvement :-) I did something similar for the logos on my
installation of gitweb, including exactly the same command to create the
favicon.

https://git.csx.cam.ac.uk/x/ucs/git/gitcam.git/blob/HEAD:/bin/make-icons.sh

I think it is a bad idea to change the height of the logo: gitweb
generates an <img src> element with a fixed 72x27 size, and the
gitweb.conf documentation suggests that site admins can replace the logo
with a custom one of the same size. My version of the new logo includes a
bit of horizontal padding so that it matches this specification.

(The higher-resolution icons are used by my server's documentation pages
but not by gitweb.)
