What we know as a traditional symbol for peace was originally designed for the British nuclear disarmament movement. Designed in 1958 by Gerald Holtom, a professional designer and artist, the symbol was later adopted by the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. By the late 1960's the peace sign had become an international peace symbol adopted by war protestors. Then adopted by the counterculture, it became part of the popular culture. The symbol itself is a combination of the semaphoric signals for the letters "N" and "D," standing for Nuclear Disarmament. Superimposing these two signs forms the shape of the peace symbol.
