I might not be sensible enough towards the Free PDF Reader topic, but I 
also think that that icon is a generic one, recognized by everyone. 
Still, I wanted to share the request with this list.

Neither do I - it seems it's just the logo.

I think nobody will recognize it then, but maybe it's just me...

That sounds like a good compromise to me - linking to their campaign, 
but not changing the logos. The average user will not recognize their 
logos...

Probably something for the marketing list to discuss :)
