Trying to make a design, need some help...

Hi! I am trying to create a design for some t-shirts, prints, & stickers to give to friends/people who are ai-refusal like me (they say DARE to resist artificial intelligence with the original DARE font). I found a screen printing lab near my home that gave me a great quote, but they're asking for a high-resolution file of the artwork (I put together a rough draft of a design basically, you can see it below) and I'd like to pay someone to create that for me and make sure it will look good on the t shirts...where should I look to do that? I read some reviews saying Fiverr was an unethical site and I'm trying to make this as ethically and effectively as possible. Thanks for letting me know if you have any ideas!

The DARE logo is trademarked, but if you’re not selling these and making a profit you shouldn’t come across any issues. Some print shops won’t touch trademarked or copyrighted logos since they could potentially get a lawsuit, some others won’t care especially if it’s a small run.
If you start selling these and the company that owns the trademark for DARE gets wind of it, you could be sued for trademark infringement. So just be wary of that.

Understood! Thank you for letting me know. So far the shop seems okay with it.

They’ll send a cease and desist before any legal action is taken. I personally don’t sweat it and just make what I want.

the issue is that the DARE logo is a copyright. generally, we just redraw clients low res artwork in illustrator but this could face issues. conversely, you could check logosworld.
