Modern Lion Apparel Logo Design

I need a completely original lion logo that feels fresh and modern for a new line of shirts, hoodies, and quarter-zips. I haven’t locked myself into a single illustration style—realistic, cartoonish, or abstract approaches could all work—so long as the final mark projects a clean, up-to-date aesthetic that translates well across embroidery, screen-print, and digital mock-ups.

What matters most is that the design:

• Works at multiple sizes without losing impact, from a small chest emblem to a full-width back print.
• Reads clearly in one-color as well as full-color applications.
• Arrives in fully editable vector formats (AI / EPS / SVG) plus ready-to-use PNGs with transparent backgrounds.
Beneath the lion logo needs to say Atlanta
The logo and wording needs to be in bulldog red
The design will be on clothing worn by college aged men and women.

Please include a brief note on your concept and any rough sketches you’d like me to review; once we agree on a direction, I’ll expect two or three refinement rounds before final hand-off.
