It's another brand name imported by someone, probably from China. I haven't seen a bass clarinet, but by complete coincidence, I have a few Diamond clarinets and trumpets here now. The logo looks exactly the same.
I looked and Diamond instruments are even sold new locally. At least clarinets and some others. I don't know if it's a local brand like most imported Chinese ones, or if the name originated elsewhere. We have both types here, though this doesn't mean anything anyway.
From the ones I have here I'd say they are average for cheap Chinese instruments. Not terrible but not particularly good. I have a couple of other Chinese clarinets, one called Glory and the others are Jupiters. It's pretty much in between, better than the former (but that one is terrible), but not as good as the latter.
A bit off topic but I checked the trumpets more than clarinets so far and something annoying is they have very non-standard sizes e.g. valve diameters, threads, etc. which makes them annoying and/or slow to repair. This might not be relevant to clarinets as much.
