I like to talk about 'peace' issue with my offline friends, having said for global peace, nation peace, family peace and all of its kinda.
But deep in my heart, I feel so shameful because until now I don't know who invented that 'peace logo' or some said as 'peace symbol'.
Hopefully you all care to share with me about who has invented or created that 'peace logo'?, I mean the true name of the inventor. Does he female or male?.
And what is the right interpretation that symbolized the drawing?. Kindly refer to the insert image.
Thanks everybody.

Peace logo is one of the most widely-known symbols in the world.
In Great Britain, people recognise it as standing for nuclear disarmament – and in particular as the logo of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament while in the United States and the rest of the world, it is known more broadly as the peace symbol.
The peace logo was designed in 1958 by Gerald Holtom, who was a professional designer and artist. Gerald Holtom was a graduate of the Royal College of Arts, who showed his preliminary sketches to a small group of people in the Peace News office in North London and to the Direct Action Committee Against Nuclear War, which was one of the several smaller organisations coming together to set up the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament with CND in short.

Thats a very interesting question that I have never thought about, I wonder who did, was it something to do with The Beatles or something to do with peace rallies, I hope someone can enlighten us on this, it is funny how you see things and jusr don't know how they happened, someone should get credit for that sign I think and maybe royalties..hahahahaha
