The hex sign called Maple Leaf includes five maple leaves radiating from the center. The leaves symbolize the diversity and beauty of life on earth. An eight-petal rosette in the design center symbolizes good luck. Overall, the Maple Leaf design signifies appreciation for life’s beauty or the sweetness and purity of life.
