'Keep Calm And Carry On'

[Duke]

See the posters in loads of houses.

Isn't this what made it suddenly reappear a few years ago?

Yeah I believe so.

 

[Pawnless Endgame]

I've only been seeing it for the last few months.

Yeah, a few people on page 1 disagreed, but like you I've only noticed it online over the last 6 months and offline (on the high street) in recent weeks. Granted it is old hat now but at least it's British. It'll probably grow even more in the Jubilee week. I guess in the Olympics too.

Some numpty/company is trying to claim ownership of it despite it being widely used by others previously. Including a second hand book shop that took prints from the original over a decade ago.

Crown copyright lasts 50 years and has since expired on this so anyone should be able to create works with the slogan/logo.
