All above mentioned characteristics are really great.

But I think their is more to say on this to my side.

Actually logo designer or Graphic Designer should have an
artistic soul in his/her self if he did not see things with an artistic eye then he did not able to create good n eye catching design elements.

First he/she think that he the divine creator.

Regarding (#5) attitude; also look for someone who won’t “yessir” or “yes’m” you all along the way. You want someone who is confident (#3) to stand up for what they believe, who will utilize their experience (#2) to direct the project and yet will be flexible enough to put aside their pride to respond to your individual [company] needs (#5 again).

I think there’s another quality that could be added to this list…ability and desire to think outside of the box and creatively. They shouldn’t simply come up with obvious and ordinary logos, as clients won’t be as satisfied with this as they would be with a unique, eye catching design.

I also agree with Rick, that it would be nice if the logo designer is able to sketch, as it will be easier to draw up ideas for designs to show to their client.

Great post! I enjoyed it, thanks!

I think one addition that is important to logo design is the ability to sketch. If a designer can’t sketch out 10-20 designs, then it is highly unlikely they will be able to come up with a quality logo. Very rarely does a logo come about on the first try.

This could lead to yet a 7th quality, which is patience.
