I'd love some opinions on this one. It's for a music and arts festival.

The "t" might read as "y" …


Alternate "t" correction.

A rough on rough paper Frode... but you might want to consider looping the t serif under to enclose the 09.

Another iteration—simplified.

I like that last one, with the larger '09. You could extend the top stroke of the F a bit further, although maybe not as far as in the previous one. I also think Michael's F avoids the possibility of yours being mistaken for a J.

it's called fest? really? really really? nothing else?

It's like those Snickers ads: "FEST!!!!"

I think your latest version is the tidiest. The 09 fits nicely under the arm of the 't'.

"Fest" is the name.

I read it as Fest right off and I think it is lovely. Only part my eye gets caught up on is the overlap on the t at the end. I'd like it better if it were just a smooth line. The other examples are nice as well.

Salisae: Do you mean the first version?

yes – I was going to specify but assumed that was the one in question

I'm leaning towards the last one.
Here's the host name in style, for posters and such.
