There are 2 types of logo on the front of the HT1250 at the top - all white circle with a black "M" OR a black circle with a white rim and a white "M".

which is the latest version?

Any idea when the logo was changed?

Are you perhaps talking about the old style (logo painted directly onto housing) vs. newer style which has a sticker ?

Thanks very much for the images.

Anybody know what year the logo switched from the original screen printed to black circle (with white rim) and then white circle?

What was the reason for the changes?

Shot in the dark here - maybe because they are the same housing for different models in different countries. It's probably cheaper to make one case and different stickers.

My PRO7150 has the white batwings. It is not a label but is directly printed on the case
This one was made in ~2002

So there are 3 different logos since the introduction of the HT1250 series:

The original screen printed (painted on) logo ; the label with the black circle and white Batwing and finally the label with the white circle and black Batwing.

I guess its all cosmetic...but were more radios sold as users demanded the latest version??
