The number of Architects using the ARB logo is on the rise.

We have noticed an increase in the number of architects using the ARB logo, or referring to their ARB registration in their communication materials.  This is supported by the data which shows that the logo webpage had been visited 771 times between January and April 2017, up 21% from 636 for the same period last year.

We fully support this approach and are keen to encourage more architects to refer to this information to raise awareness of their registered status.  It encourages the public to check the Register and helps potential clients make informed decisions.

Here are three simple steps you can take to inform the public that you are a regulated professional:

1. Download and use the logo for your communication materials;
2. Refer to the fact that you are on the Register of Architects and are regulated by the ARB;
3. Link to your unique page on the Register;

Linking to your unique page on the Register could not be easier.  From the date that you are admitted to the Register you are assigned an individual page that is uniquely identified by your registration number. We encourage architects to share this with clients and potential clients as it gives them confidence that you are a true professional, who is both registered and abides by a Code of Conduct. Your unique page link can be created by using the below format:

We are also working on a project to ask universities and schools of architecture offering courses prescribed by ARB to inform students that their courses are recognised by the regulator on their websites and in their brochures etc.

We are working to inform the public and students that architect is a protected title under UK law and when architects and universities use this information it helps get this important message out.  You can download the logo here.
