PEACE

So, I need some input on a painting I'm working on. I guess if I had to name it I would call it "Peace, Love, Jesus." It has a peace sing, and heart and a cross and my plan was to paint this scripture verse on it too:
Turn away from evil and do good;seek peace and pursue it.
—Psalm 34:14
My question is, would having a cross and a peace sing on the same painting offend you? If so, why? I know that there are different views on the peace sign being a broken cross or whatever, but I really haven't found facts to support this. If you KNOW something I don't, please help me out here. I surely don't want to continue in the same direction with this paining if there is any truth to it having an "antiChristian message. Just want some discussion to help me think through this!! Thanks!
