But then, as O C pointed out, it's a bit boxy. (The golden ration is not called the golden ratio for nothing!) Ideally, I would like to see C with the red and yellow stripes resized so that they are not the same size. That would reduce some of the redundancy of the squares. (The red and white in a Robertson Hunting tartan demonstrate what I mean.)
That being said, I'd be proud to wear any of the three if I were from New York.
Excellent work, Brian.
Thanks, Jim, but remember the tartan that has gotten the most votes is C, which is a design Amble came up with - she started with a design of mine, but the current form is her work.
After the poll closes there may be some minor modifications. The overall sett size will probably have to be made a bit larger as the current size of 5.9" is a bit small for a man (assuming that C is the winner - the other two have sett sizes of 8"). In enlarging the sett it is entirely possible to make either the red or yellow stripe larger than the other for just the contrast you're suggesting.
It has been both a lot of fun and a bit trying to be part of a work in progress and I'm glad we're doing this.
Regards,
Brian
