Peace, Liberty, Love




In this series I offer symbols uniting peace and liberty, since there is no liberty without peace, no peace without liberty.
The classic Peace sign, without its link to Liberty, became trivialized in popular culture; and sadly, there is no popular Liberty symbol. This project offers variations of a Liberty symbol linked with a freshened Peace design.

The NonAgression Principle, key to libertarianism, incorporates the unity of peace and liberty. And evolving libertarian theory accepts the logical extension of Love (or at least Good Will) so diverse individuals can live and cooperate in harmony.
