However the important dates are when that logo was first used. I have been following it since near the start but have not seen the Greenguy logo on it before that picture was posted.

I think the point someone is making is that if GG was using the logo first, then the estate of Douglas Adams owes him a lot in royalties, but if it appeared on the book first then GG owes them a lot of money
