Dear Amrino,
we were hoping to get more proposals from you, because we liked your first ideas very much!
May be you can work on the emblem further that shows our background in combination with our initials. May be a byline with our names written out would also be nice. To give you further details on our background please have a look at these details:
BLACK FOREST:
For the black forest besides the trees a further typical symbol is the hat (see:

GÖTTINGEN:
"Gänseliesel" is the symbol of the German city Gottingen, where we live now (see for example:

http://www.extratip-goettingen.de/img.php?img=2583)
For us it is important to show our background. But we would also like to have modernity and cosmopolitan aspects in the symbol. May be you have some good ideas as the design expert.
Best regards,
Farah and Willy
