@looney I really like your first point. I always do indeed try their suggestion for a font, colour etc, and explain to them why my suggestion may be a better alternative. It works sometimes!
::Very important to work out what type of client you're dealing with before doing any work. I avoid the over controlling types and those with unrealistic expectations.::
@dan ..unrealistic expectations.. one of the most frustrating things about being a designer responding to a client's wishes

@Dan I can usually tell - however he seemed fairly open in the initial meetings. I choose my own clients too @Dave - though with such a young business I feel the need to take on as many clients as possible.

haha @dan – it does seem pretty clogged up with those NLP and motivational kind of guys who say they'll help you reach your dreams and become rich when in fact they aren't successful or rich at all

Help with New Logo Design

::Also, what do you mean@Dan ?::
Concept is the idea behind the work.
Effects is the styling of the idea.
A common mistake novices make is they focus too much on the effect, rather than a great concept with good design principles. Think about what you're designing, what you're achieving from it and why. There needs to be some purpose behind every line, shape, object, pattern and font style you use.

Thanks @Signmeupmeow that looks like a great resource. I've got today off, so I'll get stuck into it. Also, what do you mean @Dan ?
Any other really good logo based websites I could check out?

As a non coder I scratch my head at what is going on and where it's going. Creating a system to write a new form of code that writes the code that people don't want to write.
