peace symbol

Anti-war circular logo

The peace symbol is a circle enclosing a vertical line with two angled lines branching downward, resembling an inverted Y.

Designed in 1958 for the British nuclear disarmament movement, it became the emblem of 1960s antiwar protests and remains a universal sign for peace: She wore a peace symbol necklace.
