Country & Western Apparel Branding Designer

We're looking for a brand designer to create minimal branding for a company that sells country & westerns aparrel in the UK. We have an especially strong emphasis on you not using AI in your processes. The brand pack will be minimal: logo, colour scheme, and typography. No more is needed at this stage. We're requesting a relatively fast turaround time on the project. Requirements: - A strong portfolio in B2C branding, helpful if there's experience in the clothing and/or country & western niche. - Good english for communication purposes. Native is not necessary but please don't send me ChatGPT output as responses. - Demonstrably strong graphic design skills. I do not want an AI output as a logo. - Start the proposal with the phrase 'cowboy boots' if you actually read all of it. I won't read responses that do not open with this. - You must be able to explain the rationale behind design choices in the brand. - Send me a price estimate with your proposal, or at least what you need to know in order to make an estimate. - I'd like to know what questions you need answered in order to build the brand pack. Thank you!
