History of Live Long and Prosper Day
The concept of Live Long and Prosper Day comes out of the iconic “Star Trek” series. Spock made his first step into the hearts of television audiences in the show’s 1965 pilot. Leonard Nimoy, the legendary Spock, first used the Vulcan salute as a symbol of good wishes and prosperity in 1967.
The catchphrase, “Live long and prosper,” lives on decades later.
Nimoy, inspired by a gesture from his Jewish heritage, created the now-famous hand salute that quickly gained widespread use, recognized across language barriers.
So, just how popular did this catchphrase become?

So much so that it gained a spot as an emoji in the Unicode Standard in June of 2014.
After Nimoy’s departure for the next galaxy in 2015, Matt McCarthy established Live Long and Prosper Day. The day honors Nimoy’s lasting message of peace.
