This new look quickly became popular among fans who embraced its boldness and modern style as well as its connection to pop culture at that time period - Pacman being one of the most recognizable video games ever released, particularly in relation to the Atlanta Hawks Alternate logo! But after just four years on uniforms & merchandise, it was retired again due to copyright issues surrounding the use of copyrighted characters without permission from Namco (the company behind Pacman). In 1996 they unveiled another updated version which kept some elements from previous designs but added more detail like talons gripping onto either side of the ball or eye details that made him appear even sharper & fiercer than before!

In 2009 this fierce-looking hawk received yet another makeover resulting in what we know today – A sleekly designed silhouette with sharp features including piercing eyes focused forward towards victory; curved wings representing speed & agility; plus vibrant colors such as navy blue (symbolizing loyalty), red (representing passion) & yellow/orange accents throughout giving off energy vibes reminiscent Atlanta's famous neon lights skyline at nightfall. It is clear why this particular design continues to be used by both players& fans alike – not only does it represent all things great about ATL sports teams but also serves to remind those who come up short will ultimately face wrathful bird staring back at them if try to challenge city’s dominance any major sports category once again soon enough!
