To be clear here, the tartan that you see on the background of this forum is the official "X Marks the Scot" tartan. There have so far been three runs of it.
Matt as the designer of that tartan has made a variant of the XMTS tartan for his customer.
Cheers

Actually, Jamie, when Gordon Fraser at F&K was preparing the first run of the X Marks tartan, he sent me images of a sample wrapping of the tartan for me to ok, because he had taken some "artistic licencse" with it and wanted to make sure it was fine with me. For example, he darkened the blues -- both shades. He used two shades of yellow mixed together to give the yellow line a bit of a marled look. I think he also altered the proportions slightly. To me, none of his suggested changes were anything major enough that they would constitute a new or different tartan. Just variations on the design, which I thought looked nice, so I told him I had no problem with them.
When I did this most recent single kilt length run for my client, I used the exact thread count that I originally designed the tartan with, and sent the mill the same color image of the tartan as is used in the background of this site.
So, in reality, it is the larger runs that have been variants of the tartan, and what I just had produced is the "original" -- if you want to be technical about it.
Someone I think suggested these look like "modern" and "ancient" variations, and I think that would be fair to say.
