Can the asymptotic expression $mathcal{O(log(n) cdot log(m))}$ be simplified?

I constructed an algorithm $A$ with input $(n,m)$ and I found that it has runtime
$mathcal{O(log(n) cdot log(m))}$. I was asking myself if this expression can be simplified somehow, but I could not find a way. Do you see a possiblity here?

    What could be simpler? You use the two input values $n,m$ once each, you apply a simple standard function to each, you combine the two by the simple operation of multiplication

The only thing I can think of is
$$mathcal O(log(n^{log m})) $$
But this is silly and not really any simpler. Go with what you have.
