Logo Design : What is the set of questions you ask your client to get his / her input on how the logo should be?

- what colors you want.
- name of the company.
- is there is a specific idea in your head? - is there a symbol you prefer ? - which purpose you need the logo for?

I agree with Yasser konsowa.
Basically, first of all we have to collect the client's idea.
Mean which colour or which specific shape if any he/she want.
We have to read the company profile as well.
It will give you an idea may be.

Company Name ..
specialties company ..
Is it within one of the group companies? Is there a specific color for the company in this year?

Yes we should know first client mind & idea, what they want and what is their requirment.

for exm. what is the compant name? what sis the meaning of the name? what is the client profile (Industry/Category)?

who is the target Audience? what colour scheme & shape they want? what is perpose of the logo?

this the set of few question to ask the client for logo design.

What are the values of your company? Your motivation? The number of employees? 

Define the business and the services you provide.

What are the goals, strengths and weaknesses of your company?

Who are your competitors? How they market themselves?

Where do you see your company in5-- years?

Select one word to describe your company.

 

1) Industry: Most of the times the Industry/Category does it belong to i.e fashion, tech, sports, this solves the color & shape problem half way through and also the defines the character of the brand i.e bold, pro, calm, playful etc.2) Name: The name of the brand can then merge with the industrial character of the logo.3) Colors: If he has some specific colors already attached to the brand ask him.4) Audience: Is there any other specific audience to the logo/brand or it has a general appeal.
for example if it has a general appeal you can't design a complex thing that only few people or a class of people can understand.5) Freedom: Is he willing for a complete overhaul/redesign of the logo or just wants an enhancement touch to the existing logo if he has.
In both case its good to have his likes and dislikes, analysis and feedback.
the more the better.
