Peace Symbol - History, Meaning, and Cultural Impact #2188247 (License: Personal Use)

This golden peace symbol, also known as the CND (Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament) logo, was created by Gerald Holtom in 1958. Its design combines the semaphore signals for “N” and “D” (nuclear disarmament) within a circle, forming an instantly recognizable emblem adopted globally by peace movements. Over decades, it has transcended its original context to represent broader ideals of nonviolence, social justice, and hope.

Used on protest signs, educational materials, merchandise, and digital content related to peace advocacy, history, and social movements; ideal for pages about activism, symbolism, or 20th-century cultural icons.
