I think the badge looks good, but I think you should consider having
"You are not using Tor" or "Your traffic is not sent through Tor" on
the badge as well. Unless you plan to have this interface check for
more than just Tor traffic.

Yep, but are we talking Tor traffic only or will you add a check for
various other "anonymity" services? Having a link to the Tor Project
website would be good too.

Do you mean Git? The repository is already in SVN:
https://svn.torproject.org/svn/check/trunk/.
