New poster on the wall: 'Keep Calm and Carry On'

This poster has become well known on internet/design communities in recent years but apparently its history goes back to the year of 1939, before the imminence of the war. It was originally designed by the British Ministry of Information to raise the morale of the British public in the event of a Nazi invasion.

As the Economist puts it, "(the poster) taps directly into the country's mythic image of itself: unshowily brave and just a little stiff, brewing tea as the bombs fall."

I intentionally posted it on the door, so that it constantly reminds me of the message as I walk out to the world.
