Badge is nice but the random paintwork behind makes it look like cheap home brew.

Check out the wwebsite for bad paint.

No beer? I win.

those are waterfords.

ANT bikes, my all time fave builder for utilitarian bikes, has some neat badges. I'm not going to pick them out because they are always pretty different, so here's a google image search for you:

is there any history/reasoning behind the card suits and italien manufacturers?

In the case of Ciöcc, this was the nickname of his founder, Giovanni Pelizzoli, when he was a pro-rider. He then became an apprentice of Ugo DeRosa before creating his own brand: in the Italian dialect of his area, Ciöcc meant "poker faced" hence the four aces in his brand badge.

Read it somewhere but can't find the link now.
