What Will Be 2009's "Keep Calm and Carry On"?

Last year, Keep Calm and Carry On was all over the design world, from posters to rugs. I'm predicting that the phrase has reached saturation level, though, and it's time to move on to another motto to live by. May I suggest Now Panic and Freak Out ($35)? If this isn't to your taste, check out the slideshow for eight other pithily worded art posters for 2009.

Love It or Hate It? Keep Calm and Carry On Rug

I asked you once what you thought of the ubiquitous "Keep Calm and Carry On" poster and you all responded with a resounding "Love it!" Now, I'd like to know whether you adore the design enough to lay it across your floor. Someone must have noticed that the poster, which was originally hung around Britain during World War II, is making waves in the blogosphere, and decided to milk it for all it's worth: Pedlars is selling Keep Calm and Carry On Rugs ($638).

Love It or Hate It? Keep Calm Poster

The Keep Calm and Carry On Poster ($35), which was originally posted around Britain during World War II, has been making its rounds in the blog world for months now. It is available in nearly every color imaginable, and its message has even made its way to key chains and doll apparel! Although it first yielded a subtle power over me, it now seems as if I've seen this poster on every blogosphere house tour. Do you still love it?
