Good design is all in the eye of the beholder (you, you firm, your clients). Consistency with how your brand in used in print. Often clients realise how poor their visual brand is used in print when they see what a good website looks like. Look at the fonts used in all these logos, not a Times New Roman (serif font) amongst them. For some firms, just changing the font used in their logo can have a dramatic impact.
