Does anyone know how much designers typically charge per project @Marshall Crews

I’ve been throwing around names and ideas in my group and I’ve finally settled on one. Again, the vibe I’m going for is gothic, biker, silver jewelry inspired. With a touch of my cowboy side. The name we’ve come up with is Eternal Relic. Please let me know your thoughts on it. I’m mocking up some ideas and will post them here in the next week. I’m shooting for a designer sound, but keeping affordable prices. $30-$40 per shirt type of deal.

Here is my new logo. Let me know what y’all think!

So this next collection Im dropping is largely f&f nascar inspired and one of the statement SKUs is a button up work shirt with a lot of embroidery hits and hardware elements. So im using the "mechanic/workwear" theme to tell a story and market but Im curious, would you as a potential customer be at all less inclined to buy if we portrayed the items in a "low class" light before showing it in a "high end streetwear" light. in other words, would seeing the items beforehand worn by a character representing low class influence your decision in buying EVEN if the products are displayed as high end streetwear afterward?

Does anyone have any ideas of anything I can do to stand out for my brand? I want to create comfortable clothes that stand out in a subtle way, a couple brands I'm taking Inspo for are YEEZY and essentials. Im trying to think of ways how to stand out and show I'm different from them but am coming to a road block, does anyone have any ideas? I don't want the clothes to be to flashy but I want people to see them and be like damn those are different. (if that makes sense lol) Im thinking a lot of it is going to be designing the actual clothing, not the graphics, but if anyone has input, I would love to hear!
