Help redsigning a tartan

[OC Richard]

What about this one. I added the white, Infantry blue and changed the proportions of the blue/black. like you recommended.....

Here it is so we can all see it, I hope you don't mind. I really like your design! Though to me the blue area seems a bit compressed or choked... perhaps if it were given a bit more room to breathe?



Wizard, I myself would alter the proportions slightly of both your tartans
1) in the Marine tartan the dark blue area is being overpowered a bit by the white/gold area; I would increase the width of the dark blue area slightly, and try to create more balance (a quite subtle shift is all that's required)
2) in the Army tartan the background colours are approaching 50/50 which can make a tartan look blocky and static; as you can see the base of your Marine tartan (closer to The Golden Ratio as it is) is stronger. I also would have changed that white line to gold, as per the jacket's cuff.

Time for me to put up or shut up! So here goes, a new attempt, for what it's worth. I added black mainly because it needed 'something' in that dark blue.

Here's Infantry, with the gold border



Artillery... no matter what red I tried, and I tried five or six of them, it either looked to pinkish or too orange, so apologies in advance to you Artillerymen out there



Military Police... there's your green! Branches with two colors work great, the other color can take the place of the gold border



and Medical Corps
