		Though it is perceived as the most hopeful of symbols, the peace sign was conceived at a time when its creator - and much of the rest of the world - feared that the Cold War was on the verge of exploding into a nuclear holocaust.
		Holtom, who was a conscientious objector during the Second World War, originally considered using the Christian cross as the centerpiece of his anti-nuke emblem, but local clergy were less than enthusiastic about having the symbol of Christianity cannibalized into one of protest.
		So Holtom went on to design the now ubiquitous emblem, with its Goya-esque central figure which also, not coincidentally, incorporates the semaphore letters for N(uclear) and D(isarmament).

	Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary : The Peace Sign (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		The Peace Sign is not a sign of true peace. No one agrees on the exact meaning of this symbol, first used by the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) in 1958, during a demonstration against Aldermaston (a British research center for the development of nuclear weapons).
		The militant atheist, Bertand Russell, who was president of the CND at the time, seems to have commissioned Gerald Holtom to design it.
		It is impossible to know just what reasons Russell and Holtom had in designing the symbol, but it is interesting to note that "the South African government, in the 1970s, seriously considered forbidding it.

		Either Holtom or Russell chose the Teutonic (Neronic) cross as the appropriate symbol for their cause.
