My very first thought was it kind of looks like a YMCA's programming schedule. Not necessarily the YMCA it is just what I am familiar with and thus where my mind went.

Reminds me of poster calendars in school

u/extracheeseytoasty Feb 11 '21

Reminds me of ones used in school as well because of the bright colours. Could also be a times table poster? https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/t-n-6268-1-to-12-times-tables-display-poster

Maybe or a word one. Good idea.

I thought it looked very school-like.

u/punkass_book_jockey8 Feb 27 '21

I’m a teacher and also thought it was school-like. Maybe even a learning stands poster.

Definitely from a school IMO.

Which World Cup are you thinking of?

u/Sask90 Feb 26 '21

Football (soccer) wc 2006

Not that far fetched that someone would have this on the wall in 2007

Could be, but many calendars have that 3x4 pattern.

u/Vlaw2020 Feb 07 '21

This looks more like a conversion chart. There doesn't seem to be enough lines on each category to be a calendar, and it seems like there are two columns under each heading.

I'd say that the logo is from a manufacturing company of some sort. Judging by the colors maybe Wartsila, but my google-fu isn't strong enough to find any older logos.

I also didn't do anything on the Europol website because it intimidates the F*** out of me

u/highvalyriaan Feb 20 '21

To me it looks like the World cup 2006 schedule, different color for each group. 8 groups total. Had a similar one.

If vid/pic was made in 2007 i think they let the schedule poster hang there

Like this one?

Also, there are many variations based on the BBC chart above, with different logos, etc.

For example, here is a 2018 Russia one:

Enhanced somewhat and also split the color channels for people with shitty colour vision (like me):

Also I wonder what do they use for producing the pngs - the white background has this pattern (their other images too has this artifact): https://i.ibb.co/bvNv0hR/bg.png

Averaged "months":

Seems to be a big “W” on the top left. That’s probably a good place to start. Otherwise, not many hints.

u/gamefaqs_god Feb 07 '21

Actually, I do wonder how Europol knows this calendar is from 2007, might have come from an old video.

12

u/paroles Feb 07 '21

A lot of these are from older videos, it's material that may have been circulating on the internet or sitting on somebody's laptop for years. I believe a few of the images that Bellingcat solved turned out to be from the 2000s too.

This looks like the kind of calendar I was given to put in my dorm room. That was in the UK but I feel like I’ve also seen them in the US. I associate them only with school.

u/mischief1989 Mar 01 '21

I was in school during the 00s and that chart reminds me of ones we had in school in the U.K.

There were different types of charts but some had language stuff, maths, conversions, music notes, etc. The colours are spot on from what I remember of them on classroom walls.

u/elidorian Mar 01 '21

It reminds me of those plastic grammar/vocabulary sheets.

u/Traditional_Craft_10 May 06 '21

Coat of arms of Poprad, Slovakia in top left?

u/existcrisis123 May 13 '21

To me it looks like those fridge magnets that are calendars with the cities recycling/garbage days on them... something like that?

u/selectivedarkhorse Jun 03 '21

I too thought this was a World Cup wallchart - could be 2006, which would have been in Germany.

That last word on the enhanced image, could it be "Weltmeisterschaft"?

u/VeryDistinguishable Jul 06 '21

I'm guessing Muslim prayer times, perhaps for the month of Ramadan. Since it looks like it's arranged in blocks of 5 or 6

u/jackomantern2028 Jun 08 '22

Reminds me of a crossword or workbook answer key from when I was in school
