Weird, on my screen it reads about 4-5 shades darker than the x-marks tartan blue of the background.

If something were to come of this, I assume the powers that be (Steve, one-man-committee) would get a sample made to assure of the proper colour.

And here's Artificer's design (the blue in which is also very dark on my monitor) with the stripes going the other direction as per Jock's request:

I like the simplicity of this design better than the "MM Mk III".

NO NOT THAT WAY!!!

That mimics a real Regimental tie!!!

Go to posts 79 and 80 for the correct way! Artificers previous posts to that were the ones that were poaching!

That's what I get for leaving my computer for a while and not checking to see if the posts are new! I didn't realize Artificer had already switched the direction; my apologies!

As Thistledown noted, last year I got as far as receiving generic samples and early quotes from two potential vendors. I'll bundle up those materials and forward to Steve tomorrow.

Why reinvent the wheel? Glen's designs were fine, and ready to go. I say go with one of them.

My feeling, too. There seemed to be such a broad consensus in favour a year ago and here we are starting all over again.

I may be wrong, but I don't recall a "broad consensus" a year ago. Still it is a good job "we" are not designing something important. What?

I'd be perfectly happy with one of Glen's designs, I just prefer the bolder dark blue and yellow stripes of Jock's suggestion and Artificer's mock-up.

Either will do, I just find one more appealing than the other!

I have this one in my amoire.
