Logoblog posted their list of 6 things to look for in a Logo Designer.

I would add to this list 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, so the ability to draw out a good number of ideas will help you more easily find the best one.

This would add another quality to the list, which is patience. If you don’t have patience, then you will have frustration. We all know how hard it is to design when we are preoccupied with designer’s block.
