with a new look


Explanation:
The French side of the 1, 2 and 5 cents coins depict Marianne in her new look, much reminiscent of cartoons

relooké : this is Franglais! They've taken the word "look" and turned it into a past participle, added the "re-" in front, and there you go: you have Marianne, the symbol of the French Republic, with a new look!

renewed image/ a new looking


Explanation:
image has a little larger meaning than just a picture, perhaps image+ any combination of re.. possible a new looking is another alternative

enhanced image


Explanation:

The term "relooke" or "relooker" mostly deal with "Conseilleurs en image ou Relooker" which enhence the image and the style of people (Beaute-soins et cheveux). Also it takes place in picture or in web page design.
Take a look on web page cited.

Best regards,

sport/bear/carry a [new-looking] Marianne, [rendered with a new look] in cartoon style


Explanation:
[au choix / a votre gout]
My personal preference would probably be: "... sport a new-looking Marianne, rendered in cartoon style", unless that's too "sporty" for the tone of the rest of the material!

agree  Wayne Waggoner: "Look" out :^) Drop original's unfortunate franglais and "La face de" (for verb to agree). "cartoon-style". Keep simple.
3 hrs
agree  Nikki Scott-Despaigne: Much closer. The original uses a short modern language, which should be respected
