Recreating the iconic Gypsy King sticker, but for the Maruti Jimny

Now replacing the Lion - the Rhino was perfect for this as many Jimny have that rhino sticker and it's famous worldwide (Not the rhino from Kaziranga! If you know you know).

Trying To Recreate The Legendary Gypsy King Sticker

Note: I am not a good graphic designer or a logo designer or anything related to that, Please bare with my noob skills.
I have seen many Jimny with the legendary "Gypsy King" sticker. I thought why not make a JIMNY sticker? If Jimny has carried over many things from gypsy like the instrument cluster, the two-line design element, the Clamshell bonnet, etc etc why not the sticker?

First I found an image of the sticker and removed the background using www.remove.bg added to Canva and started observing the picture. It had three small screws on each end, A big lion, and the most important thing, text written with Gradient texture.

The legendary sticker

On www.textstudio.com the text was generated with color codes: #519fd7 for the top, #161c69 for the bottom, White in the middle. I thought to retain the "King" label but wanted something new so I thought of the ALL GRIP label but after making it wavy it didn't look good so I changed it to "ALL GRIP PRO".

Now replacing the lion, the rhino was perfect for this as many jimny have that rhino sticker, and it's famous worldwide(Not the rhino from Kaziranga! If you know you know). The rhino is from Suzuki's Save the Rhino campaign. I wanted the rhino in brown/orange to resemble the lion so I changed the color using some website but it gave a crappy quality image.

On Canva, the 'shield' element on the background was recreated by morphing a heart and a rectangle. The ribbon is from Canva itself (Didn't have many options as most of them were premium elements). I aligned all the elements and placed all the stuff. But on comparing it with the original sticker, the text is too sharp, tried to change the sharpness and make it blur and pixelate it but didn't quite work.
Also, I couldn't add that "Metallic" shiny gradient for the shield shape. Any suggestion on how to do that?

Pics are of bad quality, they looked good in canva before downloading, Sorry.
So this was my attempt to recreate the sticker for my Jimny, Any graphic designers or guys good with Adobe/Canva are welcome to create a better sticker and post it here!We can also create a thread to recreate other legendary stickers.
