| | Peace symbol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The V-sign is a hand gesture often used as a peace symbol. | | | The CND peace symbol (☮) was an icon of the 1960s anti-war movement, and was also adopted by the counterculture of the time. | | | The usage of the rainbow can either be tracked back to pacific coexistence of different people, or to the rainbow that God showed Noah at the end of the flood, as a symbol of peace between god and mankind. |

| | The Straight Dope: What is the origin of the peace symbol? |
| | The symbol is shown in a 1955 tome called The Book of Signs by Rudolph Koch, a German calligrapher, although it's unclear whether Holtom saw it there. | | | The symbol was actually derived from the left's attempt to stop the bombing in Southeast Asia. | | | Second, the crow's-foot has an ancient history as a symbol of death and despair--it looks like somebody spreading his hands in a gesture of defeat. |
