Keep Calm and Carry On 2

Original - "Keep Calm and Carry On" is a motivational poster that was produced by the Government of the United Kingdom in 1939 during the beginning of World War II, but never used. It was rediscovered in 2000, and since then the design and slogan have been used commercially in the United Kingdom.

Reason

I have recreated this nomination with a new version of the file that appeared very late in the game in the last nomination.

Very emotive and powerful poster, which says a lot. I have it on the cover of a book next to me, on my wall at home, and I have seen the it (and bastardisations) on clothing and the like- in Britain, it is comparable to the likes of the famous Che Guevara photo in terms of its iconic status. This svg is a perfect reproduction, and, as an svg, can appear at any size necessary. There can be no better illustration for the article on the poster itself, and is a decent addition to the other articles on which it is used. I think it could probably be used in other articles as well. Has that "wow" factor that we're not allowed to talk about, and meets all the criteria, as far as I can see. Yes, it's simple, but it's certainly a highly valuable addition to the encyclopedia.
