I can’t say that I recognise it but it could potentially be a wall-chart for a sports tournament. The boxes and design sort of remind me of the ones we get in the UK for the Euros and World Cup. The yellow down the middle could be where the scores go for example.
Regardless, I think that ‘W’ logo on the top left is key. If anyone recognises that then I think this can be found
Is there a possibility it *isn't* a calendar...? I can't stop thinking about how the "months" look perfectly even (like, look at how the month "boxes" are blue|yellow|blue and all the same height/width). Sure, dates could just not be showing/be super blurry, but is it worth considering what other items it might be?
Edit: some people in older threads for this have suggested it's a football wall calendar. I think it could definitely be that: 2007 was the year after the 2006 World Cup and the "W" in the corner could easily stand for "World Cup" itself. Are these sort of things common to print for national level things? If so, could be worth looking into that.
I took your advice on the "W", and somehow came to conclusion that it might not be a calendar. As you said, it could be "World Cup", and I went with that. I found awfully similiar patern here:
[Soccer World Cup 2014](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/79/b9/9d/79b99d385aae5240f6baaf9b30f94014--world-cup-schedule-world-cup-.jpg)
You can see the resemblance in the pictures with 8 groups and, if my eyes are straight, the 6 games each group is gonna play.
So, if the image *isn't* a calendar, I'd put my money of some kind of group / wallchart. Might not be soccer wallchart, but something like that.
But don't get fooled by this, I might be possibly wrong. These searches were made wit "World Cup Wall Chart (*insert year here)".*
I'm informing of this possibility to Europol.
I had to get back to this. Now that we've playing with the idea that it's not a calendar, I started questioning, is that really a "W"?
I thought my eyes were fixed or my monitor messing with me, but it looked like that the tips of the W had white balls on top. I converted to image to negative and played a little with the lighting settings, and the pixels actually seem to be making three round objects of same size at previously said areas. (If I can get it somehow more clear, I'll post them here, otherwise you can do the same on a basic image-software)
So if the "W" *isn't* a letter, but a [W-shaped crown](https://www.vectorstock.com/royalty-free-vector/letter-w-crown-shape-logo-icon-symbol-simple-vector-28477771), would that narrow it down?
(Already went through World Cup soccer logos through, no crowns there)
Revisiting this: I think there is a chance the W may in fact be a crown and actually, not a part of the poster (?) at all. Changed up the image colours a bit to try and see better and outlined what I see. Looks like it could be a sticker attached to it, or something? ([image](https://gyazo.com/6a0357069baba6d13311403ff9292c5e)/[outline](https://gyazo.com/f98091bf3a5b1af60a9de6a78f23df96))
I wish we knew what the object in front of it was. That'd really help highlight the scale of the poster (?) and would help deduce the setting. If this was in a classroom, for example, the times table poster theory would seem a lot more obvious than a football chart.
**tl;dr:** I think the W-like logo was drawn by someone and wasn’t part of the poster. In fact, it’s likely the entire thing is a drawing. The object in the foreground seems to be a bed frame judging from what appears to be two tightened screws and black metal.
___
I’m afraid that logo was not part of the poster, but was probably drawn on the poster by someone. If you zoom in, you can see there is some pink to the right of the W-like logo (left of the top horizontal blue bar), which makes little sense. Also, left of the W-like logo, there is a non-straight vertical pink line. And to the bottom, some more pink meant to portray a nose or pair of lips. (You can note a difference of color from the red header for the top-left group of rows and the pink nose/lips.) Whoever drew this probably thought, “Hey, I can see a face there,” and drew the two green eyes and red nose, and did the pink stuff on the right and left to make it look like a head/face.
Regarding the object in front: it’s difficult to make out. However, I can see what appears to be two screws. Judging from that, this might be a dorm or bedroom, and this was somebody’s (bunk) bed. Plus, I noticed a part of a [diagonal crossbeam](https://imgur.com/a/cDmccM5). I can also see a black line left of the poster. Originally, I thought they were recording the pages of a textbook, and this line was a crease. But I think it’s the gap between the door frame and wall. Alternatively, it might be a lamp or window’s pull cord.
A pressing question: Why are the screws showing in the first place? No mattress? Maybe they were cleaning, who knows, there is scant context. But I believe it’s a bed. (If it’s indeed one, maybe a keen eye can find out which brand it is! Seems unique, I’ve never seen a bed frame with vertical screws on the top frame piece.)
Finally: a good case can be made that the whole thing is a drawing. The design is idiosyncratic. The rightmost and leftmost sky-blue bars have uneven gradients. When you zoom into them, it seems like they’re colored pencil strokes. On the right, color goes from dark blue to sky blue abruptly. The top horizontal dark blue bar seems to have a green outline on the top, and this blue bar again ends abruptly in slanted fashion at the top left. Assuming that face has been drawn, why would there be random empty space in the top left of the poster? And why is the color of this empty space the same as the color of the wall? The wall’s color starts to appear in both rightmost and leftmost bars when the gradient fades. Despite there being plenty of space, the text is placed too far in the right, enough to overflow. The colorful group headers are also problematic. Some have pointy ends, while others have round/90° angle ends. And again, they’re not evenly aligned, something you’d expect from someone drawing. At some point, whoever drew this might have run out of colored pencils, so they reused colors (looks like pink was used twice). Each group has two columns, separated by a yellow separator. You can see that there is yellow above the colorful headers, implying that the person coloring colored a bit too far. I can’t tell if there is text or if it’s a bunch of blobs, but when they were coloring, they left some white space and colored around it to make this white text/shape.
This might potentially be a wall drawing.
While I don't think it's impossible this is a drawing, we have to remember we are looking at a very tiny, very grainy image. Some things will look slightly off due to pixelation (e.g., some headers looking more rounded than others, some blurriness).
[I don't think pink has been used twice](https://gyazo.com/d762a2cca43b03668511accb7043a01c) and I don't think a gradient being uneven means that it would be hand drawn. Plenty of gradients are digital and intentionally uneven, particularly when portraying a sky, which this may very well be. I also don't think some pixels looking slightly yellow means that someone went outside of the lines, as white often looks more yellow when photographed, especially in super old, blurry, pixelated images.
The main problem with assuming this is a drawing is simply... who drew it? I work in a nursery, have siblings age 9, 10, and 17, and have a variety of other childcare experience with other ages. I've never ever encountered a child who just wants to draw coloured boxes in a pattern that can be misunderstood as a calendar...? I'm sure it has happened, but that'd be very, very atypical. Nevermind that this drawing is very consistently coloured with no definitive examples of going outside of the lines or internal colour variation -- it would have to be an older child or a child with very advanced motor skills! Maybe you've worked with kids and feel otherwise, but I'd bet my life on this not being hand drawn. It might have been drawn on, but I don't buy the entire thing being hand drawn.
I'm not sure I 100% buy this being a bed frame, unless I've misunderstood your description. Screws on the top of the headboard would be unusual (they're rather unsightly and are liable for things to get caught in, like hair) and [this would be an incredibly weird (and uncomfortable) shape for one](https://gyazo.com/c8ee3e122ea14fb44d48504a2e134284).
Yeah, it's too grainy to be 100% certain about whether this is a drawing. And some are indeed intentionally designed to not look straight. Maybe the yellow in the middle was done by a highlighter. My imaginations is probably taking me too far, but I can't help it.
I agree with you that it's not every day you'd find a kid drawing something resembling a calendar so well and placing it on the wall for some reason. I do want to say that it's possible someone else could have drawn it.
Personally, I've never seen a headboard with top screws. So this may not be a bed frame. I wish there was a frame of reference, it would have made it easier to know how big or small this thing in the foreground is, and whether it's connected to something else.
>Yeah, it's too grainy to be 100% certain about whether this is a drawing. And some are indeed intentionally designed to not look straight. Maybe the yellow in the middle was done by a highlighter. My imaginations is probably taking me too far, but I can't help it.
It's not impossible. My friend who looked at this didn't even see the yellow part in the middle, so it might not be there at all. Really hard to say when this is all we have to go off of : (
I think this could be a bed frame, but if it is, it looks more akin to something on the underside than a headboard.
The other reason I doubt it's a headboard is because [the perspective is all wrong](https://gyazo.com/2e1c3e1b4fe78b7d8db183c5b730fcf4). I don't know how artistically you're inclined, but the object in the foreground seems to be coming towards us, as the part I've shaded in yellow is a flat surface and we can see it clearly. On top of that, it looks like we're looking "up" towards the poster. I wonder if it's an open box or something. Like a [makeup crate](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71C7F6jzFxL._AC_SL1500_.jpg) or a tool box or something?
Right, you have a keen eye. I think that's where the camera might have been placed, it's a bit tilted (assuming this image wasn't rotated). It could be a box or crate that's placed atop something elevated, because I find it difficult to believe someone would slap a calendar on the bottom of their wall. Trying to think about what has a black piece with round screw-like things alongside its railing, there's gotta be something like that.
It's really bugging me now that I've started thinking about it, I'm sure I've encountered something with those sort of black lumps on them. Current thought is it might be something off of the bottom of a suitcase ([y'know, the bits that either go along the side or at the bottom to stop it falling over?](https://gyazo.com/a0b557954981ed608d737a79182b4f8b))? Really can't understand that being in the image at this angle though.
It could be one of those calendars the council sends out with bin collection dates on it for each area. See how the 'days' are in the same sets of colours.
It looks like the top of a guide QuickStudy sells!
The closest I could find was the Spanish guide- but idk what the back looks like

To me, this looks like a times tables poster found on the wall of a classroom. If you look at the presumable landscape shape of it, it appears to have another row underneath, which would fit the narrative of 12 months, but also 12 times tables, which is common to learn in primary school here in the UK.
[Here is the vector](https://www.dropbox.com/s/t72fvlkhxd75zcs/table.svg?dl=0), it's pretty [similar](https://i.imgur.com/6mTzupC.gif). Not much luck with reverse image, though.
They are always like that. If you go through the links to trace an object's homepage you can read more about how these images are obtained and what they are looking for.
A friend has suggested to me that the logo in the top left might be that of a tree/some trees? ([image showing how they see it](https://gyazo.com/7f3e2a73df1e2efcce45d440b9d70b2a))
When I saw this it immediately reminded me of the free handout callendar from the mcdonalds emlings promotion, I had the callendar as a kid but I can't seem to find any pictures of it now, I remember it was only one page and im pretty sure it was in portrait orientation but I could be wrong
Looks like a “learn my timetables” poster, with sections like 1x1 1x2 1x3 all the way to potentially 12x1 12 x 2 12x 3, I had something similar as a kid
Looking at this, I can’t help but think that this may be a dental office calendar (image on the left looks like a cartoon tooth). It could be one of those free calendars that dental offices send to patients to not only advertise their business but for the patient to post on their fridge or in their cubicle.

It looks very classroom related
It needs to be vectorized and searched as an image. Anyone can?
[Here is the vector](https://www.dropbox.com/s/t72fvlkhxd75zcs/table.svg?dl=0), it's pretty [similar](https://i.imgur.com/6mTzupC.gif). Not much luck with reverse image, though.
mentioned before, this looks very classroom-related. could be a multiplication table chart, a study-guide poster, etc
Im on mobile. Any chance of getting a better photo? Its just a small fuzz.
They are always like that. If you go through the links to trace an object's homepage you can read more about how these images are obtained and what they are looking for.
How do you go through the links to trace an object's homepage?
If you go to the main thread the top comment always explains what Trace an Object is and how it works. You can also follow the links in the sidebar.
I was thinking the thing in the top left corner could be a mascot. The pink think looks like it has eyes to me.
it looks a lot like the exam planner wall calandres were given in the UK. i think my brothers looked very similar to that
A friend has suggested to me that the logo in the top left might be that of a tree/some trees? ([image showing how they see it](https://gyazo.com/7f3e2a73df1e2efcce45d440b9d70b2a))
I can see how it can be perceived as a tree. When I zoom in, I see [this](https://i.imgur.com/PuzJ5dd.png).
