It was designed and completed on February 21, 1958 by Gerald Holtom, a professional designer and artist in Britain for the April 4 march planned by the Direct Action Committee Against Nuclear War from Trafalgar Square in London. The symbol was later adopted by the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. It was adopted by first the 1960's anti-war movement then the counterculture, and finally the popular culture of the time.
