I understand you want to be able to do this on the front-end like in MVC-style and not in the code-behind, but that scenario seems to pose that a front-end FieldRenderer control may not be the right tool. I obviously saw the code you wrote in your answer but why not do this then, all on the front-end:

<%= FieldRenderer.Render(item, "field name") %>

E.g.

<%= FieldRenderer.Render(ItemX, "Logo") %>
