This just reminded me of another similar issue.
 
Saw a 90's Holden Ute the other day and guess what badge was on the front quarter panel?

 p.s. When i say issues, I mean with the software, not the users. I'm sure that most forums would have the odd idiot hanging around.

This is slightly off topic but why do GMH / Holdens have a lion on their logo and not a native Australian animal? What's the link between GMH and lions? You wouldn't see an American brand for example with a koala for their logo would you. Atleast Quantas airlines got it right with a kangaroo.

The Lion and Stone logo symbolises mans invention of the wheel. 

Rumor has it some prehistoric dude observed Lions rolling stones with their paws so he nipped off to his man cave and invented the wheel.

This might help..

The logo, or "Holden lion and stone" as it is known, has played a vital role in establishing Holden's identity. In 1928, Holden's Motor Body Builders appointed Rayner Hoff to design the emblem. The logo refers to a prehistoric fable, in which observations of lions rolling stones led to the invention of the wheel. With the 1948 launch of the 48-215, Holden revised its logo and commissioned another redesign in 1972 to better represent the company. The emblem was reworked once more in 1994.

So you have, broad changes to the Logo in;
1928
1948
1972
1994
