What logo is this?

Must be a logo of one of the Belarussian optical factories. The MMZ (Minsk) logo is similar- and it has/had many factories under its wing. One of my J-3 has it too.

J
 
it could be one of the Zagorsk logos, they made the J-3, Zagorsk used another logo that looks like an eye in profile, with an arrow coming out of it.
 
This in not MMZ logo. According ot Princelle's book, this logo belongs to OPTEK factory (or plant/workshop). I don't know what was OPTEK and where this plant is (or was) located in Russia. :confused:

P.S. I know Russian :p This is one of the version of the ZOMZ (Zagorsk) logo. So, Princelle was wrong? ;)

The phrase next to the logo says "'Skleika' of three lenses," i.e. three lens elements. What I'm puzzling over is what "Skleika" means -- "unit," "cell"? Also puzzling is why it'd appear on a J-3, which has no such grouping.

Skleika means "gluing together".

Is the ZOMZ and Zagorsk factory the same?

yes. first Z stands for Zagorsk, ZOMZ = Zagorsk Optiko-Mechanicheskij (Optico-Mechanical) Zavod (Zavod = factory)

The lenses with the logo with 3 lenses stacked together were produced before 1962 (according to KMZ factory website)

MMZ logo looks similar, but is still different.
