Short answer: This should be fine--go for it.

Longer answer: Most of our files, including that icon, are licensed
under the GPL.  So please try to adhere to the terms of the GPL (for
the purposes of the license, pidgin.png is both the source and
compiled work).  Also I guess we possess the trademark for things that
make up the Pidgin brand.  We might object if you wanted to use that
icon on something not related to Pidgin (like an ice chest), but it's
totally fine for you to use it to represent something Pidgin-y.  Go
for it.
