There are a few ways to do it. If you only have Bryce then make the shape in a program like illustrator then convert it to a bitmap then you apply it to a symetrical lattice. Make sure the size of the image is big over 1000x1000. Then apply a texture from your glass library. Tweak the texture till it looks right. On symetrical lattices the problem is that often there will be a seam in the middle. Another way is if you have a modeler model the logo you want. Now if it is just text most modelers support text so just type it in. Otherwise you will have to model it and that changes depending on wha tkind of modeler you use be it box, spline, Nurbs, patch, or a rails extrusion type. Lat remember to set your number of reflections and transparencies higher for a render like that.
