Peace Symbol - History, Meaning, and Modern Usage #2188068 (License: Personal Use)

This image displays the internationally recognized peace symbol, also known as the CND (Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament) logo, created by Gerald Holtom in 1958. Its design combines the semaphore signals for "N" and "D" (nuclear disarmament) within a circle, forming a stark, minimalist icon that transcended its origins to become a global symbol of pacifism, counterculture, and social justice. The high-contrast white-on-teal version enhances visibility and modern aesthetic appeal.
