Better to switch to a new but familiar one now with copyright
assignment to Walter.
This is not how copyright works. If you base a new logo on the
old one it is a derived work and the old author will have partial
ownership in the new logo, so you cannot publish it without
consent.
If there is a copyright or trademark issue you need a clean break
(a completely unrelated logo).
Other than that, I agree with Gary.
(And I still think that the "new" design looks like an adobe.com
rip-off…)
