The proportions have changed. Compare e.g.: https://news.ycombinator.com/favicon.ico
EDIT: since we're code golfing/bikeshedding, here's my own attempt, which matches the original proportions [1].

[1] Actually, the original is slightly asymmetric -- the right leg is slightly narrower. I've "corrected" this, making the right leg mirror the left.
