It was designed in 1958 by Gerald Holtom, a professional designer and artist and a graduate of the Royal College of Arts.
Gerald Holtom, a conscientious objector who had worked on a farm in Norfolk during the Second World War, explained that the symbol incorporated the semaphore letters N(uclear) and D(isarmament).
It is a symbol that stands for �the death of man
and the unborn child� and that symbol was designed
from the naval code of semaphore – the code letters
for N and D (nuclear disarmament).
N is two flags, arms downstretched at a forty-five degree
angle, and D is two flags, one arm straight up and one
straight down. It is said, that the reason for the symbol being upside
down (D over N) is that semaphore is a military code and
upside down symbolizes �anti-military�
