Please use standard “street sign” transliterations if Russian – this would be DzhiNo.

If related to this producer, it must be Genio:

No idea how did it become ДжиНо but not ДжиНио though

The first word should be transliterated as “V”.

First word should be “В”, not the similar-looking Latin character.

Is it actually written like that in Latin script?

It's "Прекомпьютер Электроник"
How should I write it?

should probably be Prekomputer Elektronik instead of Precomputer Electronik

@cuavas A final recommendation about the transliteration? Thanks!

I think I’ll go with “Precomputer” since it’s clearly a transliterated trademark/loanword (native Russian for “computer” is “вычислитель” (vychiclityel').
