Peace Symbol Icon - History, Meaning, and Free Download #205428 (License: Personal Use)

Designed by British artist Gerald Holtom in 1958 for the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND), the peace symbol combines the semaphore signals for “N” and “D” (nuclear disarmament) within a circle. Its clean, bold black-and-white form has since transcended its original context to become a universal icon of peace, activism, and counterculture movements worldwide.

Used on protest signs, apparel, digital graphics, and educational materials; ideal for pages about social movements, history of symbolism, or humanitarian campaigns where users seek visual representation of peace and activism.
