How many times have you looked at an Oreo and asked the question, “Who made that Oreo emboss?” Probably never, but we are now closer to an answer.
After the National Biscuit Company introduced the Oreo in 1912, its face underwent a few rounds of adjustments (one version had two pairs of turtledoves) before today’s design was finalized in 1952.

Many Internet resources have credited William Turnier as the man behind the contemporary design, but Nabisco could confirm only that a man by that name worked for the company during that time as a “design engineer.” Alas, the certain identity of the designer who made the iconic emboss remains unknown.
But if you are craving more information, have no fear. We also know more about what the design actually means. The circle topped with a two-bar cross in which the word “OREO” resides, reports the Atlantic, is a variant of the Nabisco logo, and is either “an early European symbol for quality” or a Cross of Lorraine, as carried by the Knights Templar into the Crusades. The Oreo’s a dot with four triangles radiating outward either resumbles a four-leaf-clover or the cross pattée, also associated with the Knights Templar, as well as with the German military and today’s Freemasons.
Never again will you overlook that very special design while eating an Oreo.

cross pattée

Knights Templar[edit]
The cross pattée is sometimes associated with another Crusader order, the Knights Templar, though as with the Teutonic Knights, it was not used consistently. The Templars did adopt a red cross on their white robes in 1147,[3] but there was no specific style designated, and different Templars used different versions of the cross. The cross pattée was by no means their official symbol. Some modern Freemason organizations do use the cross pattée in an official way, and this use occasionally causes confusion as to which version was used by the medieval order of Knights Templar[citation needed].

Oh. I thought republicans run big oil. Are republicans the KT?

[TheRealVille]

[TheRealVille]

Do you have anymore info on the Knights Templar?

[vector]

no you got that wrong big oil runs the republicans

[TheRealThing]

no you got that wrong big oil runs the republicans

Not true at all. And yet even if it were, I would still much rather be a republican run by big oil, than a democrat run by the LGBT.

This relates to the Knights Templar, how? I'm trying to learn about the Knights Templar here.

LOL, tell that to your sock puppet back up. But, IMO Oreos are going to have to make a bigger impact on the market place before many folks will get too tore up about the Knights Templar.

Yea, I hate Oreos, but I thought nky was going to teach us a little about the Knights Templar.

[TheRealVille]

Why did you get me interested in a Knights Templar discussion, nky, then quit?

[TheRealVille]

I don't think they used that cross, that I'm aware of.

[TheRealVille]

^ Sorry, I see the "original" KT used it. I don't think modern day Knights use it.

[nky]

The Lorraine cross was carried to the Crusades by the original Knights Templar, granted to them for their use by the Patriarch of Jerusalem.[2][3]
In the Catholic Church, an equal-armed Lorraine Cross denotes the office of archbishop

Yea, I found that. I thought you were referring to modern day Knights Templar.

[nky]

old school all the way

[Hoot Gibson]

I don't think they used that cross, that I'm aware of.

Yes, the Knights Templar used the Cross of Lorraine.

[TheRealVille]

Yes, the Knights Templar used the Cross of Lorraine.

I conceded that the original KT did. I thought this thread was about modern day KT.

Is the original KT and the modern day KT the same?

[TheRealVille]

What cross do modern day KT use?
