Now, everyone knows about the alternate slogan “Now Panic and Freak Out”, but I don’t think I’ve ever put an image of it up here, this one is taken from Threadless.
I have always loved finding subverted images of the posters that I studied:
- The further that you go into Google Images, the more variations that you find!
- Flickr has a number of “Design Variations“
- “Keep Calm and Have a Cupcake” was also featured in the New York Times
- “Keep Calm and Spray On” perfume!
- Keep Calm and Carry On (with mice)
- Keep Calm and McLaren On
- Keep Calm and Customise
- Deviant Art
- Detroit Variation
- 12 months of ideas on a calendar
- DoobyBrain: Change Words and Be Hilarious
- Make your own!
Other Entries

- Dr Bex Lewis in the New York Times (now this is the closest I’ve come to seeing the print item – so far!)

- Cian Ó Laoghaire
- Leave Duff and Carry On (The Simpsons-esque)

- So many variations in colour too. I have the red one from Barter Books, but I have to say I love purple nearly as much, it’s tempting!
Who likes it/mentions it (according to Google Alerts!)?
I’m just fascinated to see how it’s been repurposed!
