The full name of the tartan is ?The University of Edinburgh Business School?. The tartan was designed by Dr Robert Harwood in 2002. The design incorporates the main colours of the University of Edinburgh coat of arms and logo. The blue and white was taken from the St Andrew?s Cross, the yellow from the book (also the colour of the MBA graduation hood), the green from the foliage of the thistle and the red which is used in the background of the University of Edinburgh logo. The pattern is based on a number of squares of different sizes signifying the way in which businesses operate on a number of different levels. The original design was more complex (reflecting the complexity of businesses) but was subsequently simplified to make it easier to weave.
The design was chosen as a result of a ballot amongst University of Edinburgh Business School students and staff and from ~30 original designs ranging from bright modern designs to more ancient looking ones.?
