I think that the ribbon works on a larger canvas, like on the TicketMonster homepage.
You also made a good selection for the colour.
I will stand behind my opinion, though, that the quality of the stock github ribbons is not great. They should have been created as SVGs, but they were created as raster graphics. Thus, the edges are very pixelated and the text is blurry, even in the photoshop files. There's not much we can do without recreating them from scratch.
If we want to match the font, it's Collegiate. http://www.fontriver.com/font/collegiate/

Not sure what to say, it's a symbol that's easy to recognize - otoh in this particular context, the graphic itself is inadequate
