The Peace Symbol Turns 50



The peace symbol was designed in 1958 by artist Gerald Holtom. He presented his early designs to the Peace News office in North London and to the Direct Action Committee Against Nuclear War. The symbol was first seen in public during the 1958 Aldermaston march and from that moment onwards became identified with CND and its objective of nuclear disarmament.
