keep calm and carry on
Anybody have a nice clean vector of the "KEEP CALM and CARRY ON" saying?
I have one, but the crown isn't quite right, like someone traced a medium quality jpeg. My pic is below.

Re: keep calm and carry on You can find tutorials on how to make the old paper look, it used alpha layers etc i believe from when i used to make it.
As for the logo the only thing i can think of is Illustrators live trace and then use the warp tool to try and make the lines tidy.

Re: keep calm and carry on I came up with this design messing around in Photoshop with the help of a tutorial. Still working on getting the crown right.

Re: keep calm and carry on Thank you. I did end up finding someone selling a 300dpi jpeg that traced nicely.

Re: keep calm and carry on People go careful this is a registered trademark from the UK Government and is strictly licensed, i nearly come unstuck printing this stuff. Just a word thats all, there is a website keepcalmandcarryon.com or .co.uk this is the only liscensed place as far as iam aware. Its due to the fact that it was a publicity plan that was going to be used but never really got off the ground in ww2.

Re: keep calm and carry on Actually the design is out of copyright.
This work is in the public domain worldwide. This is because either: It is a photograph created by the United Kingdom Government taken prior to 1 June 1957; or It is an engraving or photograph created by the United Kingdom Government and commercially published more than 50 years ago; or It is any other work created by the United Kingdom Government published more than 50 years ago.

Re: keep calm and carry on The design itself is public domain. He might have a business license with the name "Keep Calm and Carry On", but that doesn't give him any more right to the design than you or me.
Here is a link to the history of the poster,
