Fall Jestival?

Kind of a "design by committee" situation, but I've been told this looks like "Fall Jestival" and to lose the swashes on "Festival."

I think it's one of those making a non-issue an issue things (where no one thought it until someone pointed it out), but I need to know if I'm just a stubborn designer that should walk away from this fight.

What do you all think? Problem or not? A hill to die on or move along?
