Your first paragraph immediately reminded me of the logo/CI transition for one of Germany's largest hospital operators, "Helios" (subsidiary of Fresenius):

"old" logo (easily recognizable as a medical institution, easily discernible "H" for "Helios"):

"new" logo ("H" not clearly discernable in the two green blobs, no reference to medicine at all):

All in all, from quite good to meh.
