Peace Symbol Icon - Universal Sign for Harmony and Anti-War Movements #1936563 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white peace symbol features a circle with three internal segments-a vertical line bisected by two downward-sloping lines-originally derived from the semaphore signals for 'N' and 'D' (Nuclear Disarmament). Created by Gerald Holtom in 1958, it quickly transcended its origins to become a global icon of anti-war activism, civil rights, and counterculture movements. Its minimalist design ensures high recognizability across cultures and mediums.

Used on protest signs, apparel, websites, and educational materials related to peace studies, activism, or historical retrospectives; matches user intent seeking symbolic imagery for advocacy, design inspiration, or cultural reference.
