What does the image in the "G" represent?

In the PCGS logo the "G" has what appears to be a profile of someone, or is that something else?

    Isn't that the liberty head?

    Don't quote me on that.

    The "Big G" stands for "Grading!" :)

    That is a profile of Liberty from a coin.... Cheers, RickO

    All these years I thought it was David Hall. :/

    Profile of Liberty...Ok I'll go with that but, I still think it resembles a crappy map of South America.

    I think it looks like this image of Liberty to be exact.

    So this is where the G spot is. After all this time!

    @ModCrewman

    I think it looks more like a simplified, cartoonish version of the obverse of this (with the bottom squished in to make it approximate a "G"):

    Or maybe even this one:

    Maybe, has anyone tried a scratch and sniff on the "G"?

    Jokes aside I think it's awesome PCGS incorporated such a lovely design into their logo.
