So what are some of the trends in how architects brand themselves through logos? Browsing through Archinect and Architizer I found some consistencies that are presented below, though this is hardly an exhaustive list. Logos often work in concert with firm names (What acronym is formed by the name? How does the logo express what the architects and firm are about?), but the below groupings focus solely on their appearance. Given that many people will decide within one second if they'll click forward (a guess, but probably a good one), it certainly makes sense to consider a logo as a thumbnail on a website, not just as something on the office's front door.
BIG Letters (Mainly Acronyms):
Acronyms that haven't caught on yet*:
*L-R: Cannon Design, Coop Himmelb(l)au, Wiel Arets Architects
