***About The Peace Sign

***: Originating as a symbol from the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament in the UK during the late 1950s, the peace sign has since transcended its initial context to become a universal representation of peace. Composed of a circle with three lines, the design was created by Gerald Holtom, who was a professional artist and activist. Initially aimed at promoting peace in the nuclear age, the symbol was later adopted globally by anti-war and counterculture movements, particularly becoming prominent in the United States during the Vietnam War era. The longevity and widespread recognition of the peace sign attest to its powerful impact as a symbol for peacekeeping efforts and social change across diverse global contexts.
