Peace Symbol - History, Meaning, and Cultural Significance #205425 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white line drawing depicts the internationally recognized peace symbol, also known as the CND symbol, designed by Gerald Holtom in 1958. Its structure combines the semaphore signals for “N” and “D” (standing for Nuclear Disarmament) within a circle, representing unity and wholeness. Over time, it has transcended its original political context to become a broad symbol of pacifism, counterculture, and social justice movements worldwide.

Used on websites about history, activism, graphic design, or social movements; ideal for educational content, museum exhibits, or advocacy pages where users seek symbolic meaning, historical background, or visual representation of peace-related themes.
