Talk:Keep Calm and Carry On

Additional Information
There's quite a bit of extra information about the history of Keep Calm here: https://history.blog.gov.uk/2014/06/27/keep-calm-and-carry-on-the-compromise-behind-the-slogan/

Some of this is new - I've never seen another source that actually names the graphic designer (a chap called Wall-Cousins according to the article). As a UK Government blog article I would assume this is considered a reputable source? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.229.22.133 (talk • contribs) 20:52, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

Is this really a scan of an original poster?
The lead picture, "The original 1939 Keep Calm and Carry On poster", purports on its description page to be a "Digital scan of original KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON poster". To my eye, this looks highly unlikely to be an undoctored scan of an original print from that era. 86.191.146.73 (talk) 03:24, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

Video
Is anyone able to verify if this video is the same as the video in the Rediscovery and commercialisation section of the article? If no one objects I plan to replace the link with this one TeddyW02 (talk) 21:53, 17 June 2023 (UTC)

Vectorization
I don't see why the poster in the lede shouldn't be replaced by a vector image instead -- Quick Quokka  [⁠talk • contribs] 19:03, 8 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Because the jpg is a scan of an original poster (as the caption says), and therefore more authentic; the svg is a modern reconstruction. GrindtXX (talk) 19:12, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Just because it is a reconstruction, it does not mean it is any less accurate.
 * In fact, quite the opposite, as the vector version is higher quality.
 * I think that the scan of the original can be moved somewhere else in the article instead. Quick Quokka  [⁠talk • contribs] 19:19, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

Is it true that the poster wasn't widely distributed?
This contemporary painting seems to suggest otherwise... --Neopeius (talk) 21:19, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
