I'm not on a machine I can access Gmail from right now, so I can't say if it appears the same size on my screen. However, just for perspective, HN's logo with name is ~122x22. I like that it stays at the top of the page and can go out of view with scrolling. Gmail's logo is always in view, taking screen space.
