Need help identifying a poster on TV! [The IT Crowd]

Gaslight

I am trying to identify a particular poster seen on the wall of the main cast's basement office space in The IT Crowd finale special from last year. I don't believe it was there in the previous series, I don't remember noticing it, but I could be wrong.

It's a landscape-oriented poster. It's brown, and there's a city skyline which is half blue and half gray, with the word "LOADING" colored similarly below.

Since there is a lot of wall decor and bric-a-brac on that set, and it changes every series, I will not risk leaving the outcome of this search on my questionable powers of abstract description. I have prepared visual aids!

Here is a freeze-frame with the poster I seek. It's the one to the left of the mid-line-delivery Jen, above the filing cabinet with the yellow radio thingy on it.

Here's another view, on the wall to the right of Jen in a somewhat more flattering freeze-frame (over her left shoulder).

Google investigation has thus far proved fruitless. But I figure there's as good a chance somebody here knows what that poster is as anywhere I could ask. Any suggestions?

No go for me. My Google-fu is usually very strong and I exhausted some serious variations from words to crop the image and searching BY the image. It really struck me as something you might find on Threadless so I even went there since you can get the graphics as wall art as well as t-shirts (and numerous other things). I flipped through pages, I searched for words like skyline, cityscape, loading, city, etc.

I never found it. It may still be out there or it may be unique. I would suggest checking out threadless and typing in cityscape and/or skyline in the search box and taking a look and see if something similar doesn't also catch your fancy.

Good luck.

Looks like there's some sort of spaceship type building in the background. Would guess it's either the CN Tower in Toronto or the Needle in Seattle.

Its clearer in your second pic.

Edit: or I guess the BT tower if it's London.

Still been searching for every relevant word or combination thereof I can come up with, still nothing.

Bumping this just once just in case...

Shoot an email to the production company? Tweet your picture to one of the cast? I've seen quite a few TV stars responding on twitter to questions just like this. It's worth a shot

If you can't find the poster you could let yourself be inspired by it and make one. I won't be identical but it should not be that hard to get the feel of it and as long as it for your own wall then it must be okay to do copyright wise.

This. That's pretty easy to recreate.
