I believe that the dividing line lies with the movement, not the logo. If your watch has an ETA movement in it. It is surely pre-Invicta. If it has a Sellita movement in it. It is most likely post-Invicta.
Is my Glycine Pre-Invicta?
I am trying to figure out if my Glycine Airman Airfighter is pre-Invicta. It has the "winged" logo which, based on my internet searches, was initiated by the pre-Invicta company but was changed after Invicta took over because of the Armani lawsuit. My watch has the winged logo. Is there anyway to tell, perhaps based on the model number, if my watch is pre-Invicta?

Sellita makes a clone for every movement ETA makes and then some. I remember your particular watch being made before Invicta took over. If it indeed does indeed have a ETA 7754 in it. Then you may rest easy knowing that it is a Pre-Invicta model.
Once again, you have no idea what you are talking about. When Invicta took over, they were only supposed to be involved with marketing and distribution. Glycine was to be the "Swiss" arm of The Invicta Watch Group. But with Invicta making nothing but trash these days and raising their prices. Trying to sell diamond watches in which they certify their own diamonds.🤣Making cheap gem jewelry, clocks and storage units. They spread themselves to thin and the watches suffered.
Glycine's bread and butter as of 2016 was 39 to 46mm mechanical watches with ETA movements. When Eyal and his ragtag group of designers moved in. Suddenly we have 48mm Combat Sub's. Every color known to man. One which is "designed" by their pretty boy, ex mediocre football player Jason Taylor. We have a WOMEN's AirMAN collection with mother of pearl dials. Dig, I like women and all but the 40-42mm Airman can fit a Woman just fine. No need to make a whole collection for them. But that's Eyal. Mo'money, Mo' money. All watches would be made with the new Sellita movements because Invicta was able to barter a better deal for them.
Then came the time to stick a fork in the original 12 employees that were left when Invicta took over by making them build quartz watches. A sad day indeed. To say nothing has changed, you're only kidding yourself. Personally I can't wait for the Shaq collection to come out.
I currently own ten of the brand myself. But, I won't be buying anymore of their compromised, polluted offerings. All they are now are Swiss made Invictas.
Jason Taylor ??? I rest my case...
