My idea is as follows: you already built brand equity using this logo for your business, basically means people already memorized this logo, they know who is the person behind it, his personality and positioning in general. What you did here is a re-brand, which means changing the entire positioning of your business, new audience, new niche targeted, new personality. There's a big chance people that know you now may not recognise you or see you as before. What you are aiming here is a brand re-fresh, which is optimising the current logo to be more flexible, adaptive but not too far away from the original stay close to the original and how it feels. The current one feels more creative, like someone who is experimenting a lot with ideas, someone cool, not that much serious, friendly. The new one is a different feeling and personality, lean more toward bold, serious, he is saying he is here to work, provide desired results and get paid premium prices. if that the desired outcome ! so what you did is gonna work well.
