Trademark registration of the logo was never carried out, and since the 1960s the logo has become known to, and used by, the public as a general-purpose peace symbol.[11][12]

In addition to this primary genesis, Holtom additionally cited as inspiration Goya's Peasant Before the Firing Squad:[9]

I was in despair. Deep despair. I drew myself: the representative of an individual in despair, with hands palm outstretched outwards and downwards in the manner of Goya's peasant before the firing squad. I formalised the drawing into a line and put a circle round it.[13]

The reference is to Goya's The Third of May 1808 (1814), although the peasant shown in this painting has his arms stretched upwards, not downwards.

Yes, it was also said that the peace symbol came from the “broken cross” said to be an anti-Christian symbol, but the semaphore flags were the real origin.

It’s a Communist and decidedly anti-American symbol. Also known as ‘The Footprint of the American Chicken’.

Anti-Americans like Jon have long used it to smear veterans and our country.
