It always strikes me just how prominent the Specialized text is on their bikes. I've seen a few bikes of other brands that are far more discreet. The ones that seem to be the most in-yer-face are Specialized (often big white letters on a black background, or big red letters on a white background, from what I've seen), and Cervelo. I've seen the odd Scott around my way. Cervelo and Scott seem to be very prominent in their text, but I don't see many of them (or at least I don't notice many of them).
