Well, the signature of the hand symbol was first use by the original members of THE BEATLE Mr John Lennon who were also the very active Peace Activist to fight the war across the world. But, in the year of Woodstock, suddenly a group of people suddenly make the hand signature become more popular when they show the hand signature in Woodstock 1994 and become the cornerstone until today .
