What are some good tips for becoming a better Logo designer?

I think it should go without saying that one knows the basics of design.
You need not be an expert to create a wonderful and effective logo.
What you do need is understanding.
Understanding of the client's intent, the brand or company's identity and objectives, how the logo you'll create will achieve that and at the same time stand out from the crowd.
Also, it's the understanding of what the client wants and what he/she needs, and knowing the difference between the two plus having the wisdom on how to satisfy both.
Surprisingly, this understanding is what many designers lack, young or old, new or experienced.

Knowledge about the elements of designs Use Principles of Designs.
Knowledge of Vectors and vector graphics softwares i.e.
illustrator or Coreldraw etc.
