You can resize the launcher in Unity 2D, in Ubuntu 12.04, by manually editing a few files. This link contains detailed instructions.

On later versions, you'll find a setting already in the 'Appearance' configuration window.

Just install ubuntu tweak and go to "tweaks"->"unity". There will be options to configure the dash, launcher and some couple more things including a way to change the launcher icon size.
