thats not possible... Catholics, loving Muslims? and vice versa hah don't think thats going to happen anytime soon..
not trying to stereotype BUT most "COEXIST" bumper stickers are partnered with "Obama" stickers lol, ever notice that?! Refreshingly, this car only had one sticker.
anyways for the uneducated:
C = Islam
O = The Peace symbol (the peace symbol was invented in 1958 by Gerald Holtom)
E = Harmony between man and woman (not tran)
X = Star of David - Judaism and/or the Jewish community.
I = Pentacle of pagans/wiccans ( The five points represent earth, air, water, fire and the spirit. The circle connects them all)
S = Taijitu - diagram of ultimate power-
T = The cross, supposedly for the "christians" but I think it represents Catholics better. They have crosses EVERYWHERE.
Tucked away nicely between Swanston and Russell streets, the Baptist Church building on Collins Street has been a part of the Melbourne landscape since 1862. It was designed by architects Reed and Barnes to seat at least 1000 people and constructed by John Holtom. An earlier structure had been built in 1845 but due to an expanding congregation, it was demolished to make way for the current building. The extent of any remnants of the 1845 structure is unknown. The little shop on the left was built in 1929 to provide additional revenue for the church. The Collins Street church is the oldest Baptist church in Victoria
Today, the church is as committed to the people and welfare of the city as the day it began. It’s a place where you’ll always be welcome, no matter what your story or where you come from.

Internationaal vredessymbool
Peace symbol.svg
Een cirkel met een verticale streep in het midden van waaruit twee schuine strepen naar beide zijden lopen is een internationaal symbool voor vrede (☮). Het werd eerst gebruikt in protestdemonstraties tegen atoomwapens en kernenergie (Ban-de-Bom teken).
Het symbool werd ontworpen in 1958 door Gerald Holtom, een Britse ontwerper en kunstenaar. Hij deed dit in opdracht van een campagne voor kernontwapening. Het symbool is gebaseerd op het semafooralfabet: de twee schuine strepen naar beide zijden zijn "N" voor "Nuclear" en de verticale streep is "D" voor "Disarmament".

According to Wikipedia: "The CND peace symbol was designed and completed February 21, 1958 by Gerald Holtom, a professional designer and artist in Britain for the April 4 march planned by DAC from Trafalgar Square, London to the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment at Aldermaston in England."

Collins St Baptist Church (CSBC), 170-174 Collins St, Melbourne.
The Baptist Church obtained a grant for their present site in 1845 and work commenced soon afterwards on a brick structure with round headed windows and a simple stuccoed facade with gabled pediment. The architect was John Gill and the contractor Mr Monger. This building was enlarged in 1858. It was replaced in 1861-62 by a chapel designed by architects Reed and Barnes to seat at least 1000 people and constructed by John Holtom. The majority of the windows (except for four coloured glass windows at the Collins Street end of the building) were replaced about 1929 with the new windows featuring the letters CSBC. The extent of any remnants of the 1845 structure is unknown.
The Baptist Church is of architectural importance as the grandest classical church in Victoria. The facade of the building is modelled on a Roman temple and is Reed's finest and purest achievement in the giant Corinthian Order. The steps and lamp standards enhance this grandeur. The portico with its finely detailed dentils and brackets is the oldest reasonably complete surviving example on any non-residential building in the state. The interior is a fine example of a Baptist hall church and the most intact surviving from the early 1860's. The gallery is supported on elegant cast iron columns. The Classical style of the building contrasts with the Gothic designs which were so popular at the time and this reflects the independence of the Baptist Church.
Christian Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (Christian CND) was formed in 1960 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_CND
The CND roundel design is based on the two semaphore letters of N and D (Nuclear Disarmament) enclosed within a circle. This roundel was designed in 1958 by Gerald H Holtom (1914-1985) and has since become an international peace symbol. Gerald graduated from the Royal College of Art & Design and worked as a professional designer and artist as well as being heavily influenced by the pacifist movement from his early years.
The CND roundel logo has never been copyrighted and so, has been used by many other peace organisations. If anyone knows which organisation issued this badge or what years it was in use, please let us know.

CRUSHED TO DEATH.
A CHILD'S SAD DEATH.
KILLED BY A FALL OF TIMBER.
A child aged two years and three months, named Margaret Kerr McLean, the daughter of William McLean (engine driver) of Upper Queen-street, was killed under very distressing circumstances about a quarter past five yesterday afternoon. She was playing on a section in Upper Queen-street with some boys—amongst them was her brother – who were playing see-saw on a stack of timber in the yard. The stack suddenly collapsed, burying the little girl beneath it and crushing her life out of her for almost in an instant. Dr. Woodward-Horsley was called in shortly afterwards, but death had occurred before she arrived, and nothing could have been done to save the child in any case."
An inquest was held this morning at the Queen's Head Hotel by the Coroner (Mr T. Gresham) and a jury of whom Mr Wm. Holtom was foreman. Sergeant Carroll represented the police.
The brother of the deceased, a small boy named Archibald McLean, said he and four others were playing see-saw on the stack. He suddenly saw his little sister near the stack and he slipped off to remove her. He was too late, for the stack collapsed at that, moment and buried the little one.
Dr. Woodward-Horsley stated that she was called to see deceased at about 20 minutes to six but when she arrived life was quite extinct, death having occurred within a few minutes. The whole of the right side and portion of the left leg of the child was bruised as though she had been crushed between the planks and the ground. The main injuries were on the right side of the body. There was no fracture of the skull, but the child had evidently died from concussion of the brain. The head had been seemingly caught between a couple of planks. Nothing could have been done after the occurrence to save the child's life.
A carter named Alexander D. Lewis, living in Queen-street, said he was, just about knocking off work at the time of the accident, and he was watching the children playing see-saw on the timber. There were about two children on one side of the see saw and two boys and a dog on the other; but he did not see the deceased child. There were other stacks of timber on the section - twelve and eighteen by two planks - stacked about 4ft high, and the children had been playing about them in the daytime for the past week. On this occasion they had a plank 20ft long across the stack. He was watching the children from the stable door on his premises, and he saw them go up and down half a dozen times before the stack, which apparently had been loosened by the jerking of the see-saw, suddenly collapsed. He went over to the place at once, seeing something serious had happened, and he lifted the planks —five of them—off the body of the little girl. She was then unconcious, and did not recover consciousness.
Another witness whose name was not taken (as he was not sworn) stated that he was passing by the section at the time, and he saw the whole pile of planks collapse on the child. He ran with another man and got the planks away, Lewis coming up and taking the child out. The whole affair seemed quite accidental.
The jury returned a verdict of accidental death. The foreman expressed the opinion that there should be more care exercised in preventing from playing about such dangerous places.

This graphic is based on the american national flag design, it incorporates the internationally recognised CND (Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament) antiwar symbol. The CND symbol was designed in 1958 by Gerald Holtom, a professional artist and graduate of the Royal College of Arts in Britain.
The symbol is a mix of the military semaphore signals N - representing nuclear - and D - representing disarmament. Holtom, a conscientious objector during the Second World War, subverted this use of semaphores by placing the D over the N, the “upside down logo” signifying his anti-military principles.
The “peace symbol”, as it is usually dubbed outside Britain, was first brought over to the United States by Bayard Rustin, a key figure in the civil rights movement of the 1960s and a protestor at the 1958 Aldermaston march. Consequently, the symbol was used in civil rights marches and later spread to anti-Vietnam War demonstrations. Since then it has appeared around the world not only as a sign for nuclear disarmament but also as the international hallmark of peace.

I find photographer Julian Holtom's work www.flickr.com/photos/spaz-winchester/ very inspiring and i've been thinking doing my own scorched selfportrait since i i've seen his "gray's anatomy" picture. All credit for the whole idea/lighting/pose goes to him. I'm just glad i learned how to do something quite close (minus the talent)

The Pioneer Building
In 1863, twenty years after the Rochdale Pioneers opened their co-operative, the North of England Co-operative Society was launched by 300 individual co-ops across Yorkshire and Lancashire. By 1872, it had become known as the Co-operative Wholesale Society (CWS).
Northgate’s Pioneer building was originally built to house the Dewsbury Co-op society, then known as the Pioneers’ Industrial Society. The hall seated over 1000 people, and later became the Pioneer Theatre and then the Pot Black snooker hall.
The impressive building was designed by Holtom and Fox architects, and built in 1872.
Henry Holtom was a prolific architect. Born in Stratford in the 1840s, he moved to Dewsbury in his early 20s. He became a member of Dewsbury town council, serving All Saints’ ward for three years in 1871, and in 1883 he was elected mayor.
During the 1880s his apprentice George Fox was made partner, and together the pair designed Dewsbury town hall, which was completed in 1889 for £40,000. As well as the Pioneer building and the town hall, Henry designed churches, schools and houses.
The building features a fantastic potts clock with a bell tower above.

"a origem desse símbolo se deu há uns 50 anos atrás. Foi desenhado para servir de logo para o Comitê de Ação Direta Contra a Guerra Nuclear e para a campanha de Desarmamento Nuclear.
O símbolo foi desenhado pelo designer Gerald Holtom, integrante da inteligência durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, a partir da linguagem de bandeiras, por tratar-se de um código universal adotado em toda comunicação marítima, o que, portanto, assinava sua legalidade."

O símbolo: "Cruz invertida de braços quebrados - "Pé de galinha" ou Símbolo da paz (Code of Nuclear Disarmament)
Com certeza esse é um dos símbolos mais famosos junto com a cruz cristã, a suástica e mais alguns outros…
A origem pacifista se deu há uns 50 anos atrás. Foi desenhado para servir de logo para o Comitê de Ação Direta Contra a Guerra Nuclear e para a campanha de Desarmamento Nuclear. Duas organizações inglesas promoveram uma manifestação em Londres encabeçada justamente pelo ícone que, posteriormente, seria conhecido mundialmente.

After posting this photo and reading the various comments it got I decided to look out any C.N.D. badges that I might still have. I was sure that I had at least one but I found three; including this one. I can't for the love of me remember why or where I ever acquired this one. A bit of a novelty item.
