The story of the famous KEEP CALM poster
The KEEP CALM posters have spiked ridiculously high on social media channels and blogs for the last couple of years, but actually they’ve been around since the Second World War. The firstKeep Calm poster was asking Londoners to keep calm because of the daily raids across the city.
The British Crown. Keep it or take it off
One of the main features of a KEEP CALM poster is the British Crown… but if you don’t like it, don’t use it. Some other icon could be more relevant to your message.
Bannersnack allows you to add a customized icon, image or even logo.
Images
Using the red background is not a must. So you can start fantasizing about adding any kind of images to match your message. Add anything from palm trees, sunny beaches to cityscapes – you’re going to get the most out of your Keep Calm poster.
Movies
Why not take it to the next level and make a KEEP CALM poster about your favorite movie? The logo – check! The background – check!
Use the force, call Batman and then puf! Hakuna Matata!
Brands
You can come out and declare your love for a brand in a KEEP CALM poster. For example if you love Nutella, Disney or the Converse shoes, why not create a poster and include your favorite brand in it?
Advertising campaigns
Last, but not least: the AT&T Keep Calm campaign. I have to admit it – this is the way we at Bannersnack want brands to communicate. Is it millennials’ language? Is it appealing? Is it brand representative? The answer is: Yes, Yes, Yes!
