Artur Reis is a person's name. The flag is a green and red vertical bicolor
with a white lozenge over all, charged with the initials of the company in black letters,
in a fancy font. The flag looks like a merge of the flags of Portugal and Brazil,
though I don't know if that's intentional.

The flag is yellow, with a star with a big white border. The star seemed to me to be
very dark blue, but I might be wrong in this: it might be black instead.

Rufino Brothers, Rufino being, obviously, a
surname. The flag is a red-white-red triband
whith the hoistmost half of the white stripe occupied by a dark blue panel.
It's also pretty obvious that the inspiration for this flag came from that of Amazonas.
