I came up with an alternative logo/favicon to use with my gitweb: http://henrik.nyh.se/2007/06/alternative-git-logo-and-favicon.
Thought I'd sent it to the list in case someone else likes them.

But for me logo is too big and wrong proportions for gitweb (although quite nice for git pages, I guess), and as favicon it is a bit unreadable.

Before anyone asks, I'm not against changing the logo on Git Homepage, but before that there should be a clear consensus in the community that $logo is better than what we currently have. Also, I think we should strive for consistency here. I think it might be actually good to have different logo for Git itself and another for Gitweb, but they should be graphically similar.
I quite like Henrik's logo, but I have to admit that I got rather used to the old one. ;-) Also, one major problem I have with it is that it has too little contrast, the colors used seem too light to me and my eye can't find any "support" inside the logo. This is even much worse with the favicon where the logo isn't clearly visible on the white background at all.

Darn, never mind this mail. It's all Dscho's fault because he confused me on IRC! ;-) I didn't notice the date of this thread.

Shouldn't the "+" be green, and the "-" red, as in the original? I thought the idea was to match the colours used by diff etc.?

Clever logo! I would be interested in using it in my gitweb replacement, Wit. (http://dan.chokola.com/software/wit.rhtml)

Re: Alternative git logo and favicon
I've created an image following the same idea... I attached it here since I have no server to upload it and I don't know what license has the original image from Git. Just for fun.
