    Name this tartan?

    You won't find it in any registry. It isn't a clan, family, universal or district tartan. I am interested in seeing if Xmarkers, who are a pretty savvy bunch, can tell by looking at it who it was designed for. Any and all comments and feedback are welcome.

    This looks like a development of the Green MacTavish/Thompson you posted last month. I guess that it's for your personal use?

    From a design perspective I think you've over done it and should have left it just as it was . The white lines on the blue will break up the overall design making it appear busy and unbalanced but from a distance they will dominate, obscure the yellow, and give the impression of a white square with a finer white stripe in the centre. Don't do it .

    Thank you for your comments.
    The MacTavish Green is a different project and remains nearly as it was when I posted the pic earlier.
    This one is for a specific group of people. My hope is that some of them who also happen to be Xmarkers will be able to recognize the symbolism in it. If not, I have not done a very good job in designing it.
    It is a work in progress. I have simplified it a bit since I posted the pic above:

    The simplified version is much better with the black running into the blue. I'm personally not a fan of the white triple.

    I like it. It reminds me of scouting colors (Cub/Boy/Eagle).

    The "white triple" is a key design element.

    It reminds me of scouting colors (Cub/Boy/Eagle).
    It does represent an organization, but not that particular one.
