How many people are tartan designers? Damn' few. I still think the best way to proceed is to present a finished design, and then seek backing for it....
Agreed, Brian. Even if we end up deciding we're not thrilled with what we have here and want to start over I would not suggest throwing the design process open and starting some sort of contest. I enjoy designing and Amble is very talented - between the two of us we can handle that part.
Where we're really going to need a lot involvement is marshaling support from the various Scottish organizations around the state. Everything from the state St Andrews Society to local groups and Highland games organizers. The NYC Tartan Day parade committee might be a good place to get some support also. If anyone should support such an effort they should.
Regards,
Brian
