A very common layout for graphics on 30s Italian bikes was to have a headbadge, a smaller depiction of the headbadge as a decal on the front of the seattube, and on the top of the downtube to have a single script version of the name with underline (picture a baseball team logo or Coca-Cola script) readable from the left side of the bike.
