Also we have to be careful about using american typewriter or any typewriter face as the UK charity Shelter, used to use a similar font for their logo:

I agree, baskerville not quite literal enough. The trouble I've had in the past with shelter oriented id's is not identifying a specific structure, like a house, apartment building etc. Para nailed the lean-to idea, that to me is the most universal symbol for basic shelter, and especially since we want this to communicate a few different levels of meaning we have to be a bit more illustrative I reckon..
good call on the already used typerwriter, although I knew I was on the right track, thus it being already in use...
I am thinking serif for this, I agree the party aspect needs to be there, but I don't want this id to 'scream' I think it's a sensitive issue that needs to feel a bit like a whisper and a nod, if that makes sense...

Hey Snuggs.
Really like the general styling.
Always hard to depict a negative subject matter such as women in need. Perhaps focus on the helping aspect of the charity.
Sorry for the vagueness.

I thought I'd throw up something I was looking at yesterday, snuggs has already seen an incarnation.
Based on the idea that this concert will be providing 'shelter through music' – both literally as in the concert venue in the middle of winter, and also safe housing for those benefitting from Refuge's work:

Nice Baskerville.
Can we add some colour?
- Baskerville0
sure, I always do things in black & white first to see if they work, same with the type. Use AG until something better comes along.
have a play, still work in progress.

very clever, baskerville. i'd like to see a different face, but that's just me.
- mr_snuggles0
much better baskerville!

Hey great idea baskerville. The type gets a little lost at small sizes though, perhaps put it on two decks?

(Oct 19 06, 02:31)thanks, like I said, it's just an idea, not really 'designed' yet. Colour, typeface/type positioning are all open to debate, obviously.

Just a bit too serious.
Maybe you can style it like a hand-stamp you get at gigs?
- mr_snuggles0
just make it bigger and shinier and we're good to go...

lol, ok very quick but here are some more, *cringes 'funky'/ 'street' versions.
I don't advocate these but put them up as a way to progress the group dialog...
