Who invented the ☮ sign?

The ☮ symbol was designed by British artist and designer Gerald Holtom in 1958. Made of stainless steel, the sculpture has a high-gloss mirror effect as a whole, artistically presenting the famous “peace symbol” ☮. Its surface is engraved with symbolic patterns from different cultures and religions around the world, such as the cross, crescent star, Jewish candlestick, Buddhist Dharma wheel, Hindu “Om”, etc., symbolizing the peaceful coexistence between global multiculturalism. Such works of art are often used as public installations to convey the concepts of anti-war, peace and tolerance. Holtom designed this iconic symbol by superimposing the gestures of these two signal flags. It was originally used in demonstrations against nuclear weapons and quickly became a symbol of the global anti-war and peace movement.

What is the history of the ☮ sign?

• • Design source: Holtom combined the signal flags of “N (Nuclear)” and “D (Disarmament)” in Morse code:
  “N” is represented by two flag arms that open downward;
  “D” is a straight line;
  They are combined into a “Y”-shaped pattern in a closed circle, symbolizing the global call for nuclear disarmament.
• • First appearance: In April 1958, it made its first public appearance in a large-scale anti-nuclear march from London to the Aldermaston Nuclear Weapons Research Base in the UK.
• • International spread: With the rise of hippie culture and the anti-war movement in the 1960s, the ☮ symbol quickly spread from the UK to the United States and became an important symbol of the global anti-war, non-violence, peace, human rights, and environmental protection movements.
• • Contemporary significance: Today, ☮ is no longer limited to the original intention of nuclear disarmament, but has become a global symbol of peace, tolerance, and humanitarianism.
