One of the most famous peace symbols is the so-called "Peace Sign", but it was originally created to be a symbol for the March for nuclear disarmament, held in London in 1958.

The symbol was created from two semaphore signals in a circle:

Remember that the next time you see a Peace sign anywhere. :-)
