Etymology
The first peace badge, 1958, made in ceramic for the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament by Eric Austen from Gerald Holtom's original design.
Originally designed for the British nuclear disarmament movement by Gerald Holtom in 1958.[1] Holtom drew himself when he was in a state of despair: with his palms stretched both outwards and downwards.[2][3] The symbol is usually interpreted as a combination of the semaphore signals for the letters "N" and "D," standing for "nuclear disarmament".[1]
