Mine being gules and argent (Donnachaidh), I've made several simple cockades myself. I'll try to get a photo as well for comparison.
In fact, I've been thinking of replacing one of the white cockades I usually wear with a red and white ribbon cockade, so I think I'll do it and take a picture. I know all will be waiting with baited breath.

Apologies for the delay...not the best photo, but at least it gives you an idea of what it looks like.

Traditionally speaking, civilian cockades should be made up of one's livery colours, or the livery colours of one's chief. And shame on those who do not know their chief's livery...
| Well double shame on me then, because I don't even know what livery is in the first place.  I don't know how I'm supposed to have livery colors if I don't have livery in the first place (or not that I know of anyway). What the heck is livery???

Todd,
That's a fine looking cockade! Did you make it yourself? If so, how did you do it and where did you find the ribbon? I went to a couple of local craft shops and couldn't find anything wider than 1.5" (this was several years ago though).
My chief (Buccleugh) has the same livery colors (or and azure for Scott).
