Original artwork description
A child makes a graffiti painting with 'peace signs' on the wall. Because there is a lot of unrest and wars in the world, it wants to show that there should be peace.
The symbol designed for the British nuclear disarmament movement in 1958 is now commonly known as the "peace symbol".
A number of peace symbols have been used in many ways in different cultures and contexts. In the 1950s, the "peace sign", as it is known today (also known as "peace and love"), was designed by Gerald Holtom as a logo for the British Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND), a group at the forefront of the peace movement in the UK, and adopted by anti-war and counterculture activists in the US and elsewhere. The symbol is a superposition of the semaphore signals for the letters "N" and "D", which stand for "nuclear disarmament"
Disarmament and non-proliferation treaties were created because of the extreme danger inherent in nuclear war and the possession of nuclear weapons.
The symbol is a superposition of the semaphore signals for the letters "N" and "D", which stand for "nuclear disarmament.
