Like the idea of a silhouette. Could you make it look less like a ball peen hammer and more like a gavel? While I like your creative take, we probably don't want to make it look like our name is being damaged or knocked over by the gavel. :).
Again, please make the top of the gavel the same size as the bottom of the gavel. I realize that you might need to make the gavel handle shorter in order to keep the gavel head within the white, but we are okay with that.
