The "Peace Sign"has a very interesting story behind it. It was designed by an artist named Gerald Holtom, in 1958. He made it for a march in London, against Nuclear Weapon Research. So what is the symbol? It's two letters of the alphabet, in semaphore:
N
and
D
for
Nuclear Disarmament
Nuclear Disarmament
Holtom superimposed the two shapes and then tidied them up by putting them in a circle. The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) adapted Holtom's designs to make it into a lapel badge.
Is there any chance that I can use the above peace graphic on a t-shirt for my County girl Scouts? I will be adding text to it for our county. I am not one to steal graphics without giving proper credit. And I don't know if this is copyrighted or available for us to use. I love it!
