This image shows the iconic peace symbol, officially known as the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) symbol, designed by Gerald Holtom in 1958. It combines the semaphore signals for “N” and “D” (standing for Nuclear Disarmament) within a circle, forming a stylized human figure with outstretched arms. Over time, it has transcended its original context to become a worldwide symbol of pacifism, social justice, and countercultural movements.
