I know it’s difficult but does that mean one cannot try?

I think that might be realistic but not problematic. If someone doesn’t 
like the logo, they don’t have to use it; of course it would be nice to 
have something that is at least acceptable for most people.

And this argument works also for the current logo (an image of a 
waterlily flower, two leaves, and a score in the background): It’s a 
nice picture, but I don’t like it as a logo because it cannot be used in 
print (at least in small sizes).

That would be nice but I doubt one can make a convincing b/w version of 
that. Even if you leave out the background it’s a very complex image. 
And even if you manage to make a b/w version of that it’s not usable at 
small sizes.
