A logo should of course be easily recognisable like you mention before. There are many logos which i am unable to reproduce, but it would recognise them instantly.

A logo should be immediately and distinctly recognizable.

Right, whatever you choose, use it wisely (CI).

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 ste= ep 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.

I= dont see any reason why i should be able to recreate any logo. A logo shou= ld of course be easily recognisable like you mention before.
There are many logos which i am unable to reproduce, but it would recognise= them instantly. For instance that American soft-drink company with the red= logo. Its much more complicated than our current logo, but I'm sure lo= ts of people will recognise it.
