Peace Symbol - History, Meaning, and Modern Usage #1506674 (License: Personal Use)

This minimalist black-and-white line drawing depicts the internationally recognized peace symbol, also known as the CND symbol, created in 1958 by British artist Gerald Holtom. Its design combines the semaphore signals for “N” and “D” (Nuclear Disarmament) within a circle, forming a powerful visual shorthand for pacifism. Over decades, it has transcended its original political context to become a universal icon of harmony, activism, and counterculture movements.

Used on websites about history, activism, graphic design, or social movements; ideal for educational content, blog posts on symbolism, or landing pages for peace-related NGOs. Matches user intent seeking symbolic meaning, historical background, or vector assets for ethical campaigns.
