The 2000 Tartan Day Button, the first one that was distributed nationally.

Designer: Stuart Hoarn.

The 2001 Tartan Day Button was the first one designed by Jack Barker.

Designer: Jack A. Barker.

The 2002 buttons was the best-selling Tartan Day Button yet. It was the only one that ever had to be re-ordered from the manufacturer..

Designer: Jack A. Barker.

Ironically, the follow-up to the 2002 button did not sell as well.

2004 was the biggest button, at 2.75"×3.75". Due to the higher cost of postage, it's not likely that there will be another "big" button like this one again any time soon.

Designer: Jack A. Barker.

Based on the success of the 2002 design, we did another square button in 2005.

A red-and-blue design (representing the U.S.) is surrounded by a purple-and-green design (representing Scotland). This one didn't sell very to Canada.

Designer: Jack A. Barker.

It occurred to me that I hadn't ever done a plain old round button. So I designed a round one!

Designer: Jack A. Barker.

This one has caused a bit of confusion. It's meant to celebrate the tenth anniversary of SR 151. But it's the eleventh button. And there are some groups who have been celebrating Tartan Day since before SR 151, of course. And technically, the Declaration of Arbroath was in 1320, which is waaaaay more than 10 years. Oh well, better luck next year.

This button was only 1.75" in diameter (a bit smaller than the 2007 round button), in an effort to keep the prices down.

The 2010 button (still available for ordering), is a return to the oval shape, with colors meant to invoke the Rampant Lion, one of the symbols of Scotland.

Designer: Jack A. Barker

The button shapes available through online ordering are limited, so it's back to a round design this year, but with the exciting new wrinkle that they can be order in regular size (2ź" diameter), mini size (1ź" diameter), or jumbo size (4" diameter).
