    I totally get what you are trying to do. When I put myself in the shoes of the people you are talking to i.e people in the community (not the homeless) then I feel the name: "I am human Too" is one word too many. To simply say "i am human" is enough. I like the lowercase for "i" which is fitting of the diminshed status of homeless people. For me "i am human" has more emotion than "i am human too" which sounds like a complaint

      I hadn't thought of the feeling that 'too' added to the name. I do see the negative side of it though. I'll have to think about this some and see if I can get around it...

      thanks!

      I think that is a superb solution. The message is stronger without the 'too' and it solves the symmetry issue.

      Nice one Angela ;)

      Kind regards,

      Matt

      I agree that "too" is problematic... "i am human" is more powerful, confident, life affirming, proud.

      So if I drop the 'too' then I lose the people. I would then have a name, not a logo. Back to ground zero haha

      Thanks again for everyone's comments!
