I am working on a monogram for a wedding.
Norman and Helene are the names of the couple to be wedded.
Her initial feedback is that it is a little too abstract and the "h" looks like a lama.
Can I get some feedbacks?
thanks for your time!

Hi Tony,
Did you try playing with the uppercase of these two letters, it could be more successful. The uppercase N and H have a similar form and could be played with without the llama effect happening.
Another option is to keep the serif on the lowercase n and remove it from the ascender on the h part.
Good luck!

If this looks like a lama...
You have a good concept here, it is creative and does exactly what it needs to, I'm sure the main issue with the client is that she is expecting a mono using a script wedding face, which will not work with this concept. I think you could try a few different faces as well as Will's idea to finesse out the cut creating a more styled 'n' and 'h'. I do think you need a face that has a visual tie in the 'h' character so when you do make the split the pieces still look part of the same realm.
Of course, as a married person, this concept could be crushed the minute someone say it represents a break up not a union.

your idea was a good starting point for me to veer another direction.
So here is your idea refined. It works beautifully in 2 colors but does not work in BW so well.

I am revisiting my original idea in an italic version.
It still looks a bit bland. I am going to try to enclose it in an ornate shape.
i'll just keep playing with it. Thanks again everyone.
WHURD!
