    Don't keep calm and carry on.

    Inspired by reading www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2009/mar/18/keep-calm-car... this lunchtime, and being in a bit of a mood.

    UPDATE: for those of you who have asked, please go ahead and make posters, t-shirts etc... that was kind of the idea! BUT - pls. respect the (CC) Licence and don't sell it...

      Hah, I also read that feature at lunch but seemed to just keep calm and carry on.

      Archaeology: the earliest Keep Calm and Carry On poster I could find on Flickr. Predates mine and candace's by a month. (That was cut out of the Guardian Weekend, oddly. I can't find the article online, though.)

      Heh heh, very good.

    7. plugimi (35 months ago | reply)

      I'd take one in Medium! Background needs diff color for more contrast, green?

    8. weatherpixie (35 months ago | reply)

      I like the spanners.

    9. joroach (35 months ago | reply)

      Spanners = Lovely.

      and so much better than the FUCKIN SHITE offensive ad rip off... www.flickr.com/photos/antimega/3341371421/

    11. pixellent (35 months ago | reply)

    12. alexandradaisy (35 months ago | reply)

    13. Anthony Brennan on Flickr (35 months ago | reply)

      King George would be proud.

    14. cunabula (35 months ago | reply)

    15. Jahan Shahili (35 months ago | reply)

      I see a variation of these hitting the internet hard in the coming months

    16. bibliogrrl (35 months ago | reply)

      Yes! I love it!

    17. saharacook (35 months ago | reply)

      This is great - can I icon-ify / print on a Tshirt please?

    18. George (35 months ago | reply)

      Which do I do first?

    19. Mayo Nissen (35 months ago | reply)

      good crown!

    20. Ki(ttenhotep). (35 months ago | reply)

      Poster plz.

      (Or, um, I will get excited and make my own).

    21. Douglas Dollars (35 months ago | reply)

      You all could, you know, get excited and actually make your own shirts!

    22. exoskeletoncabaret (35 months ago | reply)

      Fantastic remix. You win.

    23. Tom Coates (35 months ago | reply)

      I have never wanted anything more. This is the twin of my other favourite and recent acquisition: vi.sualize.us/view/0af48648b0955a57905151f489 255591/

    24. plugimi (35 months ago | reply)

      See, you made a thing and already got 3,127 excited!

    25. Tom Coates (35 months ago | reply)

      Also get this on a fucking t-shirt already. You've got a bloody movement here that needs to proselytize.

    26. cripplemusic (35 months ago | reply)

      Set as Desktop Background --> OK.

      Now I'm off to sew a 1950s wiggle skirt.

    27. dvc1 (35 months ago | reply)

      brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.

      I'm actually going to put it above the original poster in our office.

    28. Jeffrey (35 months ago | reply)

      Didn't read the feature. Didn't need to. Love the sentiment and the design.

    29. Dave Simon (@ds) (35 months ago | reply)

      Absolutely brilliant!

      I'm visualising a series of moo cards now..

    32. rosewoodtemplar (35 months ago | reply)

      Another t-shirt vote. Men's small.

    33. mac morrison (35 months ago | reply)

      not so imaginary now...
      not so imaginary now
      I'll put a pound in the pot ;)

    34. 13strong (35 months ago | reply)

      I have the Threadless version of this t-shirt that reads:

      "NOW PANIC AND FREAK OUT".

      I would love this on a t-shirt (same colours) to accompany it. I would pay up to £20 English pounds for such a garment.

    35. starrwitness (35 months ago | reply)

      Fantastic! Personally I love the green color. And I'd like a shirt. :)

    36. rrenzoo (35 months ago | reply)

      awesome! may I posti it on ffffound???

    37. Benjamin Shapiro (35 months ago | reply)

      I'd totally buy a poster!

    38. Erik Mallinson (35 months ago | reply)

      That is totally awesome. It makes a great iPhone wallpaper too. I was just looking for something to replace dreary winter photo I had there.

    39. alden_fertig (35 months ago | reply)

    40. judith (35 months ago | reply)

    41. Kamerosa (35 months ago | reply)

      Yay! Got to love how few words have such meaning.

    42. mandella45 (35 months ago | reply)

      freaking fantastic!

    43. Señor Danimal (35 months ago | reply)

      For a t-shirt I'd love just the wrench crown on the front. maybe the motto on the sleeve.

    44. jenrsmall (35 months ago | reply)

    45. muteboy (35 months ago | reply)
