Peace sign

What it means: Nuclear disarmament and broader aspirations for peace.

Gerald Holtom designed the sign for the first major Aldermaston nuclear-disarmament march in 1958. The Imperial War Museum records its later adoption by disarmament organizations and the wider peace movement.

Often chosen for: New beginnings & hope · Peace, calm & comfort · Strength & courage · Curiosity, creativity & wonder

Respectful use: Review politically sensitive markets and product contexts. Do not add CND’s name or imply organizational authorization. This is an independent geometric rendering of the basic form.
