Peace Symbol - History, Meaning, and Modern Usage #2149543 (License: Personal Use)

This bold magenta peace symbol features the iconic circular design with three internal lines representing semaphore signals for “N” and “D” (Nuclear Disarmament). Created by Gerald Holtom in 1958 for the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND), it quickly transcended its origins to become a worldwide emblem of peace, civil rights, and anti-war activism across generations.

Used on protest signs, apparel, digital media, and educational resources to convey messages of nonviolence, unity, and social justice; ideal for pages about activism, history of protest symbols, or cultural iconography.
