Peace Symbol - History, Meaning, and Cultural Significance #1507445 (License: Personal Use)

This minimalist black-and-white line drawing depicts the internationally recognized peace symbol, originally created by Gerald Holtom for the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) in 1958. Its design combines the semaphore signals for “N” and “D” (nuclear disarmament) within a circle, symbolizing totality and unity. Over time, it has transcended its origins to become a universal icon of peace, activism, and counterculture across generations and continents.

Used on protest signs, apparel, websites, educational materials, and social media campaigns related to peace movements, human rights, and anti-war advocacy; ideal for landing pages, blog posts, or resource hubs targeting users seeking historical context or symbolic imagery for activism.
