That's the standard 52mm factory lens cap in my image. If the logo
you saw was larger, it would be because the lens itself was larger and
took a larger lens cap.

And I'm guessing that you photoshopped that lens cap on, since I don't see the
reflection of another photographer and the other cameras in the picture appear
to be old film cameras unlikely to have gotten that shot. And isn't the word
"Nikon" on the cap too sharp for its surroundings? :^)

Yes, it was Photoshopped into place, and it was deliberately sharp. I
wouldn't want to create that image and have anyone miss the joke.
