Yeah, those are some common sense basic mistakes to watch out for. I think the most common one is the use of too many fonts in a particular design. In logo design, less is more.
You hit that one on the head, So many times I see designers using 2, 3 even 4 fonts in a logo. As much as it is soooooooo wrong, I still have clients that want this done...

yes, its unreadable
Winters, maybe it is just the way your say it but, what is so unreadable about the above logo. I love to learn from other designers but your short response leaves me a bit confused could you expand on it?

I know all this rules long time ago, but HOW to say this to client? Sometimes they want complex, embossed, logo's with lot's of colors. How to say to client - this will not work?
Well, I would print that logo in black and white and show it to them. I think that would comvince them that a simple logo is a good logo.

i will add a few
- Think where the logo will be use...
Maybe is a internet company only, then you dont have to follow to many rules.
But, if not... BE REALISTIC a logo with a 1000 colors is very expensive for printing!
- Respect sizes
YES! A logo will have a smaller version for all kinds of stuff, if you place white spaces make it a generous one, because if the logo is smaller those spaces between shapes dissapear!
