Peace Symbol - History, Meaning, and Modern Use #1958159 (License: Personal Use)

This bold yellow peace symbol, known as the CND (Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament) logo, was created in 1958 by Gerald Holtom. Its design combines the semaphore signals for “N” and “D” (nuclear disarmament) within a circle, forming a universally recognized icon of peace and protest. Over decades, it has transcended its origins to become a global symbol for anti-war activism, social justice, and counterculture movements.

Used on websites, educational materials, advocacy campaigns, merchandise, and social media to represent peace, nonviolence, and humanitarian causes; ideal for pages about history, activism, symbolism, or cultural icons.
