Peace signs

The peace sign is a universal symbol representing harmony, anti-war sentiments, and social justice. Its most common form, a circle with three lines inside, was designed in the 1950s by British artist Gerald Holtom for the nuclear disarmament movement. The lines symbolize the semaphore signals for the letters "N" and "D," standing for "nuclear disarmament." Since then, it has been adopted globally as a symbol of peace, nonviolence, and solidarity across various movements. The peace sign’s simplicity and powerful message have made it a enduring emblem for promoting understanding and harmony in society.
