In February 2011, an updated logo was unveiled alongside the Windows Phone 7.5 'Mango' update at MWC 2011[1]. The new logo was almost identical to the Windows Phone 7 logo, albeit with a different color scheme. It was replaced by the square Windows Phone logo later in 2011, but was still used as the Windows Phone logo on Microsoft Answers until at least February 2012[2]. The '7' was dropped from the logo.
