I have never seen any other Fender a custom shop logo like this.

The ones i always see are those with a big "V" like in

So, is the logo authentic ?

Thanks - Lam

Those are the CS logos I'm familiar with... any more, I'd like to know about.

Early Custom Shop instruments had that logo. I believe it's called the artists pallet. I have a 1989 CS Strat with that logo:

That's an early CS logo from the late 80's I believe.
