It very much resembles the UN logo. They have the sphere divided into six segments. Six representing the hexagon or cube or the sixth planet from the sun. More Saturn representation. This type of symbolism can be traced back thousands of years.
There are only so many ways to represent a sphere to suggest 3-dimensionality. Two or three segments are inadequate. Four segments is still too stark. Five segments is not what we are used to. Six segments is good, looks 3D, and fits into the long-standing tendency toward duodecimal numbering. Thousands of years ago, no one understood that Saturn was even a planet, much less the sixth planet. We didn't know that until probably the 15th century (Copernicus).
Those are satellite orbits. The Rings of Saturn are all on one plane.
Not talking about the satellite orbit rings, I'm talking about the leaves that are arranged in a ring. So subtle you didn't even notice.
Honestly. Those are wreaths. Very common in military heraldry. With us, it's olive leaves (peace). With the Russians, it's shocks of wheat (plenty).

It clearly symbolizes EARTH.
