It is not (and should not try to be) an endorsement of your superior design skills. I personally feel that having fewer licensed architects is bad for the profession because good designers will go unlicensed and clients will start to recognize (correctly) that they can hire unlicensed designers who are equally qualified to do the work.

And what I think is most beautiful is to notice how many people would like to work with you, instead of showing a distant appreciation for your designs.
