Maltese cross Logos and Brands

The Maltese cross, an eight-pointed symbol with V-shaped arms, is one of the most recognizable heraldic symbols in the world. The Maltese Cross section brings together brands that use the Maltese cross in their logo or are visually linked to its history. Fire departments, hospitaller orders, the watch brand Vacheron Constantin, and several military units bear the Maltese cross on their emblems. The symbol’s origins date back to the Knights of St. John, and its eight-pointed shape represents the eight virtues of the knightly code.
