A Visual History of the Keep Calm and Carry On Poster

December 3, 2012

I posted this graphic on Facebook this weekend and it got such a good response I thought I should share it on the blog. The Keep Calm and Carry On poster as well as its knock-offs and take-offs are ubiquitous now so you may be fed up with seeing it frankly.

However, the story behind the original poster is an interesting one and I dare say an inspiring one as well. This little poster was almost lost to oblivion with only two originals left in the world; then fate seemed to step in and now it seems to have taken over the world! ;-)

This cool graphic below was designed by Melody Stone and shared on www.fibers.com. If you would like to enlarge it, please click on the image or  visit their website.
