I think it might be Japanese, but that's just a guess.
Thanks for looking,
Jack

I tried a Google image search by uploading your drawing, but failed to find a match that way. I also looked up optical manufacturer logos, and Japanese optical manufacturer logos and didn't see it. Did you draw this from memory?
 
It's based off a cruddy old photograph. Never thought of Google image search, have to give it a try one of these days.
Thanks fstop and Frank for looking.

Kind of a head scratcher. The photo Bencw posted (thank you!) has similarities but I still wonder about the intricacy of the original compared to the more Spartan graphic of the USSR logo.
 
Hm, this is the later ZOMZ logo... looks quite different to me...

Let's see what Bill has in store...

If you are speaking of THIS Bill, I'm afraid I have NOTHING more in store. I have worked on many, spanning many countries and 150 or so years. Yet, as drawn, I have not seen that logo. It is important to remember, however, that, at certain economic points, some companies existed only a few weeks or months.

It is also important to note that some companies sold directly to certain: hardware stores, drug stores, sporting goods stores, nature shops, optical stores, etc., and embossed the logo of THAT company on the backplate.

Right before the REAL Swift went the way of the world, they were selling the Seahawk with the very large oculars. When they sold out, I went directly to Kamakura. They were prepared to make Captain's the soles source of the bino . . . IF. If we would order in lots of 100! Ancient companies are not necessarily rich and we just couldn't do it. :cat:

It looks a bit like the Zorki Yura logo. This is a camera but I wonder if they made binoculars also back in 1961 with that logo.

Hi Bill,

sorry then I misunderstood your post... I thought you had something in mind and wanted to look it up or so...

No need for sorrow my friend. If there needs to be, it would be on my end, for not knowing more.

I'm a misfit. Even though a big blowhard, if I don't know something, I won't act like I do. If I do, I stand my ground on all points until corrected by someone I KNOW HAS BETTER INFO. That keeps the speculators angry with me. But, that just goes with the territory. :cat:

According to a fellow Crop Circle Group member, this "logo" is actually a drawing of a crop circle.

Some crop circles such as this one appear to correspond to complicated equations developed by French Mathematician Gaston Julia. Those crop circles have become known as 'Julia Sets'. Julia lost his nose in combat during World War I and wore a protective mask. The cited crop circle shows what his nose looked like before it was shot off.
