<P> The Keep Calm and Carry On poster was designed by the Ministry of Information during the period of 27 June to 6 July 1939 . It was produced as part of a series of three `` Home Publicity '' posters ( the others read `` Your Courage , Your Cheerfulness , Your Resolution Will Bring Us Victory '' and `` Freedom Is in Peril / Defend It With All Your Might '' ) . Each poster showed the slogan under a representation of a `` Tudor Crown '' ( a symbol of the state ) . They were intended to be distributed to strengthen morale in the event of a wartime disaster , such as mass bombing of major cities using high explosives and poison gas , which was widely expected within hours of an outbreak of war . </P>
