From Coat of Arms to Tartan: The Cadilhac Case.

[cadilhac]

@OC Richard: Ah! That's a very interesting consideration, indeed! I did not think about registering this, and the Québec tartan is quite obscure due to its unofficial state, but you are definitely right. Punching the tartan in the official tartan website does not bring any close match, though, and the criteria for "new tartans" according to the official rules seem to allow just a change of color. I did not plan to register it, though.

Now the design you propose is getting even closer to my first attempt, here:



What's your educated opinion on it? Overloaded maybe? I wanted the Y2R2K2 cross to represent the open collar, but I'm not sure it is useful.

EDIT: I think I didn't think of it as "tartan enough" because of the colors (and my complete lack of understanding of tartans at this point :-) ) Playing a bit with the colors gives it a feel I like more.



Now I'm still playing with this Y2R2K2 (here a Y2R4K2), and maybe the best option would be to drop the Y altogether here.

@Todd Bradshaw: Thanks very much! You certainly are the Great Tartoonist of this forum :-)
