The British motto is ubiquitous, appearing on mugs, doormats, baby clothes and all sorts of various products.<\/p>\n<p>Do you know where this saying originated?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Keep_Calm_and_Carry_On\">According to Wikipedia<\/a>: &#8220;The (Keep Calm) poster was initially produced by the (British) Ministry of Information at the beginning of the Second World War. It was intended to be distributed in order to strengthen morale in the event of a wartime disaster. Over 2,500,000 copies were printed, although the poster was distributed only in limited numbers.&#8221; In fact, only a handful still exist outside of the government archives.<\/p>\n<p>The Keep Calm and Carry On poster was &#8220;rediscovered&#8221; in 2000, and since the Crown Copyright expired after 50 years, the Keep Calm logo is now in the public domain.<\/p>\n<p>BlueCotton took its very first &#8220;Keep Calm&#8221; order in 2010, and the trend has gradually picked up steam. It is hard to walk past our printers without seeing one ready to ship daily. It is a perfectly simple and versatile design style. Just remove Carry On and replace it with anything you desire.
