I don't think anyone would dispute that OGL doesn't necessarily mean dice,
but by the same logic there are lots more dice in a d20 System game than
just d20, so I don't see this as much of a problem. Dice are a very
well-known aspect of games in general (outside RPGs), from candyland to
yatzee to craps, and I think the open box metaphor graphically communicates
the 'openness' of the license. The OGL is a toolbox, a treasure chest, a
place to put your stuff. I think it works well. If you really want to
encompass all games then put a spread of 5 face-up playing cards underneath
the box.
The colorized version under the stylized OGL is nice, quite distinct from
the d20 Logo, but I'd lose the version number from that logo - if the
version changes I don't think we ought to have to change the logo.
