Gerald Holtom's original 1958 draft of the Peace Sign for the British Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament's Easter London peace march. We all have versions of the ubiquitous peace sign somewhere, but not this. Holtom combined the Naval semaphore signs for the letters N for Nuclear and D for Disarmament to come up with what we now know as the Peace Sign. 

But also there's this version. "I was in despair. Deep despair," he wrote, according to the book TM: The Untold Stories Behind 29 Classic Logos. "I drew myself: the representative of an individual in despair with hands palm outstretched outwards and downwards in the manner of Goya's peasant before the firing squad. I formalized the drawing into a line and put a circle round it. It was ridiculous at first and such a puny thing."

In 1960 the symbol made it into a US pamphlet for the Committee for Nonviolent Action, and in a few years it was everywhere.

Measuring at 15.75"h x 15.25"w and with a handle length of 21.5”, these personalized tote bags are made with 100% cotton sheeting. Add their reinforced handle stitching to the mix, and you got a reliable bag rich in both practicality and durability.
