100% talent is my experience and focus on logo design (coorporate identity) only. It’s an area of it’s own, on wich you have to specialize if want to be realy good.

There is a big difference on being a logo designer and a webdesigner. I run a web agency with 30 people. Many of our best web designers are the crappiest logo designers, and the other way around for our logo designers. You dont need any degree to be a successfull logo designer, you just have to listen to your clients and have a good and imaginative brain.

Absolutely both! They go hand in hand and complement each other.
However, if you only had to have one, I believe natural talent is the most essential one of the 2. The knowledge (design degrees) will only solidify the natural talent and passion for the art.
But we could easily add one more important skill, and that is experience.

I agree with most that it takes both talent and education to be, and to continue being, on top of your design game. Computer programs change, trends change, logos change, everything changes–so to become a great designer and think, “that’s it, I’m done” is a mistake. As an artist, hopefully, you are never done learning and growing.

To Mr. Southwell’s point, the best equipment a designer could have is a creative brain.
