The reasons for moving away from the guy on the couch were described on in
the original thread on the developers list.  I'm certainly not opposed to
having a couch in the logo at all.  However, I also don't believe that it's
a hard requirement either.  Many thousands of products, organizations, and
businesses don't have the exact image of the product they are selling in
there branding.  I couldn't imaging every car or bike company requiring an
automobile or bicycle in there logo.

  There is a strong resemblance for sure.  Being from the U.S. I'm not
familiar with that logo.  I think that there is still hope for the .9
series of images, but some tweaking will definitely need to be done to help
differentiate it from that logo.  Thanks for binging it to my attention!
