Peace on Earth

Description

This symbol () was originally used for the Direct Action Committee Against Nuclear War (DAC) and was adopted as its badge by the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) in Britain, and originally was used by the British nuclear disarmament movement.

It was subsequently adopted as an international emblem for the 1960s anti-war movement. It was designed and completed February 21, 1958 by Gerald Holtom, a brittish professional designer and artist in Britain.

The symbol itself is a combination of the semaphoric signals for the letters "N" and "D," standing for Nuclear Disarmament. In semaphore the letter "N" is formed by a person holding two flags in an upside-down "V," and the letter "D" is formed by holding one flag pointed straight up and the other pointed straight down. These two signals imposed over each other form the shape of the peace symbol.

Hi there!  Really love this artwork - I'm releasing a single for free download and this would make great cover art.
