Peace Symbol//Gerald Holtom//1954The peace symbol is most commonly see today on jewelry and clothing. But during the late 1950s through the 1960s it was used as a protest towards the war. In 1954 is was used in England's Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. The peace symbol was used to promote exactly what it is...peace.
Miochael Foot leads a CND march to Hyde Park//London//1983I found this image when researching the Peace Symbol. The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament was one of the first organizations to use the peace symbol as their graphic of choice. It became very popular through them. Just putting a peace symbol on a sign without any text was saying a lot.
B-52 Peace Symbol//Artist Unknown//2007I also found this image and though it was really interesting that the artist used a plane to make the peace symbol. And not just any plane, a plane with what looks like missiles attached to it. The peace symbol promotes peace yet here's a war plane combined with a circle to make the peace symbol.
