Oreo’s design, if observed closely, is highly geometrical. The four triangle radiating in an outwardly manner from a dot in the centre looks very close to seeing a Cross Pattee. The Knight Temples who lived during the first crusade designed this design which is called Cross Pattee. They wore this cross design in clothes whose colours were red and black. Basically they did this to differentiate themselves from the soldiers belonged to other religions in the region during that time. People who have read the ancient history know this symbol called Cross Pattee. For others, it symbolizes simple leaf having four clovers which points out to luck, hope, love and faith.
