I have an HH that had that logo style on it.
It was a 1986 year cymbal, so yours is most likely an 80's made cymbal.

Looks like the name was in the semi brush stroke font (mine had that too).
I'm not sure if that was the original style for the model names or not--but it was an early style.

Sabian came on the US market around 82 or 83 I believe--so that would put it between 1982 to maybe 1989-ish or even earlier (based on the HH on the logo and the brush font model name).

You might try the Sabian site for a better dating time line.
