Graphics are proven to communicate more clearly than text to users.  
Well recognized brands are well recognized because they are seen  
often. since this is where most users go, this is the target of  
phishers.

The issue is the process for the User Agent to determine that the  
graphic really does belong to the owner of the site. Secure Chrome is  
needed so that the user knows the graphic does belong. The CA process  
for asserting the graphic belongs to the site needs to be much better  
then the current one(s).
