They have gone to installing a decal on the drivers window, at least on new Sierra Denali that is where it is. Sorry, no pic to post. I assume they changed to save on cost.

I could only find reference to this vehicles

The Flex Fuel E85 badge commonly found on the rear of many flex fuel vehicles has been changed on the 2012 Equinox and Terrain. The liftgate Flex Fuel badge has been replaced with a Flex Fuel decal located on the fixed rear quarter glass.

The VIN breakpoints are:
Equinox
Ingersoll Assembly
(Identified by a 6 as the 11th digit of the VIN)
VIN 2GNALFEK4C6283899
Build Date: February 22, 2012
Oshawa Assembly
(Identified by a 1 as the 11th digit of the VIN)
VIN 2GNALPEK8C1262640
Build Date: March 5, 2012
Terrain
VIN 2GKFL8E57C6283565
Build Date: February 22, 2012
To ensure all vehicles get the E85 Flex Fuel identifier, during a 48 hour change-over period, a number of vehicles were produced with both the badge and the window decal. Vehicles built on or after the build dates are built with the E85 window decal.
If owners notice the E85 Flex Fuel badge is missing from the liftgate, point out the decal located on the fixed rear quarter glass. Do not order or install an E85 Flex Fuel badge on the liftgate.
