-Marina del Rey, Ca.
-To underwhelmed reviews, Feast Fest logo designer Remunne Tchaikov revealed the Feast Fest 2013 logo on Saturday. The logo had been planned for release on Tuesday, but technical difficulties prevented release on that date.
Tchaikov yet again crafted a logo with murky reviews in only his second year with the event, after former logo designer Andrys Petris designed thirteen acclaimed logos for the event from 1999-2011.
"The 2012 logo was no picnic, and this one's worse," said Feast Fest event analyst Mike Vilshire. "This one's almost an eyesore from where I'm standing."
However, for the first time ever, Tchaikov announced he had designed two separate logos; a different logo, which has not yet been released, will appear on the event's official programs. He said he had made the initial logo simpler for easy web release.
"Crafted using a computer program, this logo beautifully combines the colors of the Marina del Rey harbor with those of traditional Thanksgiving harvest Americana," said the official press release from Tchaikov's agent.
The logo was criticized for its heavy color contrast, simplistic fonts, and the total abandonment of any decorative processes such as embossing, engraving, or shadows; the first logo to be completely devoid of such elements since 2000.
"Feast Fest is delighted and has rejoiced at our new logo for Feast Fest XIX in 2013, and we cannot be more thankful for all the hard work that Mr. Tchaikov put into this design."
As for the event's chefs? They minced words a little less. "@FeastFest 2013 logo is terrible," tweeted Patrick Kermell, who was also overly vocal about the 2012 design. Chef Keith Wholehreh started a hashtag, "#FireTchaikov." Tchaikov's own Twitter account was shut down Saturday after it was bombarded with criticisms. Tchaikov, Tchaikov's agent, Sara Tsosmoleva, and Tchaikov's assistant, Mark Maupul, all would not answer phone calls.
