Peace Symbol - History, Meaning, and Cultural Significance #1207410 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white peace symbol, designed in 1958 by British artist Gerald Holtom for the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND), combines the semaphore signals for “N” and “D” (Nuclear Disarmament) within a circle. Its clean, geometric form has transcended its original political context to become a universal icon of peace, anti-war movements, counterculture, and humanitarian causes across generations.

Used on protest signs, apparel, digital graphics, educational materials, and social campaigns; ideal for pages about activism, history of symbols, or peace initiatives where users seek visual clarity and cultural relevance.
