If you are clueless about the “Keep Calm and Carry On” posters, here is a little history lesson. In 1939 during the beginning of the Second World War, the British government produced the Keep Calm and Carry On propaganda poster. The sole purpose was to raise the morale of the British public in the event of invasion.
Seeing only a limited distribution supply, it was barely known by the general public. The poster was rediscovered in 2000 and has been re-issued by a number of private sector companies, and used as the decorative theme for a range of other products. There are only two known surviving examples of the poster outside government archives.
Ever since the rediscovery, inspired ranges of clothing, mugs, doormats, baby clothes and other merchandise has been on sale. Online parodies of the poster also started to emerge with similar type but changing the phrase or the logo.
According to the Bagehot column in The Economist, the poster’s popularity “taps directly into the country’s mythic image of itself: unshowily brave and just a little stiff, brewing tea as the bombs fall.” This phenomenon keeps trucking and raised our curiosity of when it will cool down. The bottom line is that we have nothing against this propaganda poster and love the creativity it has transmitted.
