It was designed and completed on 21 February 1958 by Gerald Holtom, and was originally designed for the British nuclear disarmament movement.
The symbol itself is a combination of the semaphoric signals for the letters "N" and "D," standing for Nuclear Disarmament.

The peace sign, also known as the "peace symbol," was created in 1958 by British designer and artist Gerald Holtom for a nuclear disarmament march. It is formed by the semaphore letters "N" and "D" for "nuclear disarmament," with the arms angled downwards. The symbol quickly became a powerful, global emblem of peace and anti-war movements.
