Peace Symbol - History, Meaning, and Global Significance #117385 (License: Personal Use)

This minimalist yet potent symbol-composed of a circle with three internal lines representing semaphore signals for 'N' and 'D' (nuclear disarmament)-was created by Gerald Holtom in 1958. It quickly transcended its activist roots to become a global emblem of anti-war sentiment, counterculture movements, and humanitarian ideals. Its stark black-and-white contrast ensures high visibility and timeless recognition.

Used on protest signs, merchandise, educational materials, and digital content related to peace advocacy, history, social justice, and cultural studies; targets users seeking symbolic meaning, historical context, or visual assets for campaigns.
