GM monogram

A new exciting project I am working on at the moment. The client is in the attorney / law business and wants a simple/minimal yet strong & solid mark. First name starts with a G, last name with an M: a tough combo! I'm really trying to steer clear from anything like the scales of justice or roman columns which are far too obvious.

The left one is like a robe they wear in court. The right is like a law book.

Thoughts / opinions are welcome!
