Peace Symbol - History, Meaning, and Cultural Impact #2188049 (License: Personal Use)

This iconic yellow-on-black peace symbol was created in 1958 by Gerald Holtom for the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) in the UK. Its design combines the semaphore signals for “N” and “D” (nuclear disarmament) within a circle, evolving into a universal emblem for peace, counterculture, and social justice movements worldwide. The high-contrast color scheme ensures visibility and symbolic resonance across diverse media and contexts.

Used on protest signs, apparel, websites, educational materials, and social campaigns related to peace, anti-war efforts, human rights, and mindfulness. Matches user intent for historical context, symbolism explanation, or visual assets for advocacy content.
