Peace Symbol - History, Meaning, and Usage in Modern Culture #3583948 (License: Personal Use)

Designed in 1958 by British artist Gerald Holtom for the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND), the peace symbol combines the semaphore signals for “N” and “D” (nuclear disarmament) within a circle. Its clean, geometric form has since transcended its original political context to become a universal emblem of peace, counterculture, and social activism across generations and continents.

This image is commonly used on websites about history, activism, graphic design, or cultural symbols; ideal for educational content, nonprofit campaigns, or articles on protest art and iconography. Users searching for symbolic meanings, vintage logos, or civil rights imagery often seek this visual.
