Birds
·
Bird of Paradise
: Symbolizes beauty, wonder, and mystery of life on earth.
·
Distelfink
: Symbolizes good luck and happiness. The distelfink was a bird that ate thistle seed and thus called the “Thistlefinch”. The Pennsylvania Dutch referred to it as a “Distelfink”. Using 2 distelfinks together on a hex represents "double good luck." Depicting 2 Distelfinks crossed over each other or intertwined means “true friendship”.
·
Doves:
Doves represent friendship and peace in marriage. When doves are shown turned away from each other, this is also said to represent peace and trust in marriage.
=====================
Flowers & Plants
·
Leaves:
Leaves represent long life, strength, and nature. Maple and oak leaves are the most common leaves shown on Dutch hex signs and are often embellished with acorns as well. Leaves can also represent diversity and beauty of life on earth.
·
Shamrock:
Represents luck and the "luck of the Irish".
·
Tulips
: Tulips represent faith, hope, and charity, and can also be used to represent Holy Trinity. Tulips are frequently shown in multiples of 3 and are shown to represent a form of a lily. Another implied and eloquent meaning can include: "Faith in yourself, faith in what you do, and faith in your fellow man."

luck and protection.
·       4 Point Star: The Morning Star,  Christian Cross, Star of Bethlehem. Native Americans also believed the morning star is a sign of courage and purity of spirit.

Star of Redemption. Represents baptism in Christian faith.
·
10 Point Star:
Harmony in natural kingdom, Spiritual well being. Could also represent 10 of the 12 apostles. (Judas is omitted due to his betrayal of Jesus and Peter is omitted because of his denial of Jesus.)
·
12 Point Star:
Represents completeness.
·
Triple Star Motif:
Good Luck, Success, and Happiness. This motif is comprised of 3 nautical 5 point stars that are layered and rotated to reveal all points of all stars. When a brown outer ring is used, it symbolizes the cycle of the life making this particular sign a wish for a lifetime of happiness.
