On February 15, 2010, the successor to Windows Mobile, Windows Phone 7 Series was announced at Mobile World Conference 2010 by Microsoft.
Windows Phone 7
2010–2011
Due to criticism about the length of its name, on April 2, 2010 Microsoft shortened the name to Windows Phone 7. The circle was changed to green though other colors were still used on occasion. And finally Windows Phone 7 released worldwide on October 21, 2010, and later in the United States on November 8, 2010.
2010 (unused)
These proposed/unused logos were shown in July 2010, 3 months after Windows Phone's new naming scheme. The green strings logo are almost different compared to the Microsoft Windows strings logo.
Windows Phone 7.5
2011 (pre-launch), 2011–2012 (secondary)
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.
