It started life as the emblem of the British anti-nuclear movement but it has become an international sign for peace, and arguably the most widely used protest symbol in the world. It has also been adapted, attacked and commercialised.
Gerald Holtom, a designer and former World War II conscientious objector from West London, persuaded DAC that their aims would have greater impact if they were conveyed in a visual image. The "Ban the Bomb" symbol was born.

ROFLMAO! Someone actually shows some creativity on cable TV, Emmy gives them an award for it, then turns around and censors them! The irony is simply delicious. [ Agreed, this is great stuff. Between Kathy Griffin and Dick in a Box winning, them being forced to hamstring their broadcast to figure out how to handle that is really something. Death to old media! -k] My church of the Snake Handling Satan condemns thanking Christ/God during any awards ceremony. I would encourage all media outlets to censor any acceptance speech involving christ, god or the Dutch (you can't trust the Dutch). Griffin's 'offensive' Emmy speech to be censored - CNN.com |
