A logo should be immediately and distinctly recognizable.

As a simple test, try to draw the current logo as exactly as possible
just from memory. How many "mountain peaks" are there and how steep do
they connect? Then try the same with the new logo. Even though you
certainly have not seen it as often as the current logo, you may be able
to re-create the new logo more accurately. Everything else is just a
personal and indisputable preference.

Stay Tuned, Tiger
