Created in 1958 by Gerald Holtom for the British Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, the symbol combines semaphore flag signals for the letters "N" and "D". It quickly gained popularity in the 1960s through anti-war protests and the hippie movement, becoming an international emblem of peace. The design's simple, circular form with its vertical line and downward V-shape has proven timeless and versatile. Seen on posters, clothing, jewelry, and artwork, it conveys a universal message of nonviolence and harmony. Beyond nuclear disarmament, it has been adopted by various social, civic, and environmental movements. Today, the peace symbol transcends political activism, appearing in fashion, design, and popular culture worldwide.
