This black-and-white peace symbol features a bold circular outline enclosing a vertical line intersected by two downward-sloping diagonal lines, forming a stylized semaphore signal for “N” and “D” (Nuclear Disarmament). Created by British artist Gerald Holtom in 1958, it quickly transcended its origins to become a worldwide emblem of anti-war activism, counterculture, and nonviolence. Its clean, scalable vector-like form makes it ideal for digital and print use across movements and media.
