Design competition to find festival logo
In need of a brand and logo design, the Fungi Feastival committee held a design competition for a logo with 'autumn colours' and received entries from local artists and designers.
South Coast studio Clare Moore Designs was selected as the winner.
Ms Moore then accommodated several changes to her design to meet the needs of the committee.
In addition to designing the Fungi Feastival logo and brand, Ms Moore designed a range of mushroom foraging zines and merchandise for Milton Mushrooms.
The Fungi Feastival committee felt an instant connection with her fungi and mushroom design experience and congratulated Ms Moore on her win.
If you are interested in the science and art of fungi in addition to cooking and eating mushrooms and truffles, the Fungi Feastival 2023 activities will delight you.
