It's actually not the entire M, it's just the left side of it, with an
oval below it so that the red is in the shape of an eighth note. I don't
know the history of this, but my guess is that yours is earlier, because
it's hard to imagine that they'd have removed that clever decoration.

There were more meaningful design changes along the way--improved power
supply, switch to the faster CPU, revised firmware, better sliders--but
I doubt any of them were synchronized with the graphical change.
