The peace symbol was first used in 1958 to protest the stock-piling of nuclear weapons. The lines represent the semaphore signals (a system of sending messages from ship to ship using flags predating the radio) for "N" and "D", standing for Nuclear Disarmament. The symbol (created by Gerald Holtom) was never copyrighted and eventually was adopted by the anti-war movement in general.
