That's the first time I ever heard about it. I was wondering what that bell on the logo was for and what it had to do with free software.
Hey guy ! You should get out of the US ! There are at least a dozen of humans out there !

so what logo do you use to indicate liberty?
if you are going to criticize a logo for being too US centric, at least propose something else to use.

OK, the end was a lame attempt at a joke, but you can't deny the fact that using a symbol that's completely lost for maybe 90 % of the target is a failure.
Before today, I had never ever heard about something named "liberty bell", what it symbolized etc. And I'm sure nobody around me did either.
And a last point. Some people think you can't criticize something when you don't have a bette proposition. That's simply not true, and I will never acknowledge this limitation.

While I wholeheartedly agree, those who use this retort must also realize that you are leaving the search and (possibly) the implementation to others and if they can't get something better, then maybe this really is the best it could be. (Some who respond with the above statement forget its implications; I'm just being pedantic.)
