I kinda prefer the more abstract alternative from before, since it is more universal. This one seems to heavily tie to Australia and Gold in my personal opinion.
As much as the other one may have looked simple (simplistic?) to some here, the most recognisable logos are so specifically because they are simple.
I must admit though that this font has something more solid and dependable about it than the one in the other attempt. This font may definitely be a better choice.
