This is what I think of it.

Here's the Logopedia page for Best Western:

It's the first time the logo has had no crown since before 1962.

The BW icon is very strange, looks like a pill... a logo made for a pharmaceutical company...

I would have kept the crown.....

Does this mean Best Western is preparing to enter the medical business?

Very generic.
I agree. They should've designed a better logo, which incorporates a crown into its design motif. They missed their mark on this one.

Is there a Worst Eastern motel?

(I was going to nominate one in Michigan but apparently it burned down
a couple of years ago)

There's the Second Best Western and Worst Western hotels in a few episodes of "The Simpsons".

Simpsons do make fun of stores...one time they had a gun store called Blood,Bath and Beyond. And Wall Mart, Art gallery...and then they need to get something to get rid of rats which was called 'PEST BYE'

Oh, come in BW..Make it at least a Little similar shaped so you can reuse every single sign you ever made..

I'd suspect that they can make it fit within the existing sign shape/size, just without the border line going around it?

My question about the new logo:
BW = But Why?  :D

Yeah, that's actually good. They can just replace the pylon on the old sign instead of making a brand new one and then a labelscar from the older one. But that doesn't sound too bad lol

Inspired by other classic or classic-inspired logos for other brands (Pizza Hut Burger King, ABC, etc.)
My idea for what a logo for a classic Best Western hotel format would look like:
