In the United States, the usage of the V sign as a photography gesture is known but not widely used.{{citation needed|date=July 2023}}

The original poster for the 2003 film ''[[What a Girl Wants (film)|What a Girl Wants]]'' showed star [[Amanda Bynes]] giving a V sign as an American girl visiting [[London]].
