Also called Calm Down Lemur · Everybody Calm Down
One raised hand asks everyone to slow down. Pair the lemur’s serious stare with a small reason the group can stop panicking, arguing, or sending more messages.
A lemur faces the viewer with one hand extended, against a red geometric background. The palm reads like a request to pause before the situation gets louder.
The contrast works when the announcement is much smaller than the dramatic pose suggests. A missing charger or an extra slice of cake can become the reason to restore order.
Know Your Meme’s image gallery records an upload titled Chill Out Lemur. This is a documented use of the format, not a date for the original photograph. [1]
Use the space above the head for the request to pause. Put the reassuring detail along the bottom, leaving the raised hand clear between them.
The second line should address the imagined commotion. Keep it concrete: the charger was found, lunch is on its way, or everyone can have a slice.
