The logotype just tells you which factory the lens was made it. It can be made in a couple of factories and still be a Jupiter. I prefer the newer Jupiters, the black Jupiters. They won't cost you more than 25 - 30 dollars. Sometimes it is better to buy one with a Zorki 4 or Zorki 4K as a rear lens cap. They can even be priced cheaper. Go figure.
