Prints of the fresh interpretations of the well-known symbol have been sold to raise money for charity
Ten acclaimed artists have lent their creativity to a project to raise funds for the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.
The works range from geometric and witty to hand-drawn and introspective, from Morag Myerscough and Anthony Burrill, among others. The Print Peace Project comes from Rounded Dot, a new, not-for-profit social enterprise. The results were sold as prints to raise money for CND.
The CND symbol was designed in 1958 by Gerald Holtom, based on the semaphore signs for ‘N’ and‘D’, standing for nuclear disarmament. Although specifically designed for the anti-nuclear movement, it has deliberately never been copyrighted and is free for all to use. It has become a shorthand symbol for peace and hope.
Paul Tunnicliffe, co-founder of Rounded Dot, said: “As well as raising funds for CND we want to celebrate peace and relink the peace symbol back to CND and its true meaning – nuclear disarmament.”
Formed in 1958, CND is a community of tens of thousands of activists who share a common vision for a world without war.
