Peace Symbol - History, Meaning, and Cultural Significance #256844 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white peace symbol, officially known as the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) symbol, was created by Gerald Holtom in 1958. Its design combines the semaphore signals for “N” and “D” (nuclear disarmament) within a circle, later adopted globally by anti-war and counterculture movements. Today, it represents broader ideals of peace, unity, and social justice across diverse contexts.

Used on websites about history, activism, social movements, or graphic design; appears in educational content, protest imagery, merchandise, and digital interfaces where users seek symbolic representation of peace or nonviolence.
