Okay, so far thats all correct.

The final step is to edit the /usr/local/etc/squid/mime.conf config file
and replace the "SN.png" listed there for internal-logo with your image
filename.
 Then squid -k reconfigure to load the change.

As Eliezer said Squid is not a generic web server. So getting it to
serve things up is a bit of arcane voodoo and this is close to the limit
of what is possible.
