Be suprising if it did have a maestro/cirrus logo, they are rival schemes.

Visa's network is called "Plus"; the Maestro/Cirrus thing is Master Card.
My ordinary Visa credit card doesn't have any network logo either; my bank's ATM card has the Maestro & Cirrus logos on it.
Looking at the US Visa "ATM Locator" web site, all the local ATM machines show that they accept "Visa Electron" cards. That's not proof, but a good indication that your card will work for purchases too.
