I have no information on the history of this patch, but it looks like someone put some effort into its design.
Kind of a play off the Universal Pattern, it has the circle with overlapping lines representing the 8 directional points, like an octagon.
I've seen it discussed before where the lines also look like kenpo sticks or clubs, as in Long Form 7.
And the colors of the lines represent kenpo's three depth zones:
Zone 1 - the closest depth represented in red
Zone 2 - mid-depth represented in orange
Zone 3 - the outermost depth represented in yellow
This patch is readily available on many martial art supply websites.
