So your goal is to raise $50,000 I assume to make it more efficient? How much lower do you expect your prices to drop after this investment?

"There is nothing quite like a piece of fashion that has been handmade with love, and is totally unique to you."- 5ksana
Nice idea a few decades ago, but today's modern consumer is tired of the "made with love" expense.
BTW - logos and stores are a couple hundred $ each.
Yes, the goal of raising $50,000 is to create and develop a handmade brand under my direct guidance. I’m not aiming for mass production or factory-made items; instead, I focus on making unique products from high-quality materials with custom designs.
A talented seamstress makes $15-$20 an hour in the US, and my prices reflect that. A similar employee at a factory in China would make pennies.
I can’t compete with sweatshop prices, and I don’t want to.
People expecting big-box prices for handmade goods. And the sad truth is, most of the time those handmade goods are underpriced just to compete with this mindset. These customers don’t see the hours of design, standing in the fabric store deciding between fabrics, emails back and forth if someone wants a custom piece, and the hours of learning and refining the craft. It’s said that it takes 10,000 hours to become an expert on something. Since that first sewing class through today, I have accrued much more than 10,000 hours of sewing. When you buy handmade, you’re not just buying a dress or a purse. You’re buying the entire handmade experience. The next time you’re considering buying a handmade item, remember there’s a woman sitting behind a sewing machine in her basement, surrounded by mountains of fabric and years of experience, putting a piece of her soul into that item, hoping that you will get as much joy from the finished product as she gets from making it, and maybe she can pay some bills too.
As Coco Chanel said: "
Handmade things are a luxury, everyone does not need to have them. Whoever wants to get them, either pays the master for the work, or makes them himself."
Programming and art are forms of creative work that need a personal touch. I'm not a fan of using generic or automated templates, especially when it’s unclear who made them, what code was used, or how secure they are. I believe every project deserves a unique and high-quality approach. Thanks for understanding!
The best way to choose a logo is to discuss it with the Bitcointalk community, like it's done here:

People need people!I'll tell you one thing: whether I raise money for my project or not, I will keep creating BTCitcoin Art. I love the philosophy of Bitcoin it's all about absolute freedom, just like art, which is meant to express your ideas. Through my art, I express the idea of BTCitcoin, combining the philosophy of financial independence with the power of artistic expression.
