Comment (by pospeselr):

 Given how this image is used (on the main page at least) it looks like it
 can be reduced to grayscale/alpha (trims off a bit: down to 435 kb) and
 reduced in size by half in each dimension (trims off more, but not as much
 as you'd expect: down to 264 kb).

 We can replicate the effect using a grid of divs with various
 border/margin/bg color if we want to avoid SVG (tor-browser has a similar
 pattern in about:tor) but it would require a bit of refactoring of the
 footer.
