menu icon interaction 2

Hey guys,

got another idea for menu icon interaction while sketching a wireframe.

The idea here is since the main screen (that's overlapping the menu) will still stick out a bit, rotate the menu icon º90 to turn into gripper. What do you guys think, which one do you like better?

By the way, that awesome fella you see in this shot is Eric Hoffman, but yall already knew that.
