A banner depicting Kakha Kaladze together with the logo of the United National Movement first appeared on October 16th, 2012 on a satirical website chiti.ge and on its  respective Facebook page. The photos published on October 29th and 30th, 2021 even include the logo of Chiti.ge, but the low quality of the image makes it hardly distinguishable.

The original photo, which was used to create satirical poster, appears on the internet since 2008. It belonged to an advertising campaign of mobile and internet company “Magti”. Kaladze became the face of Magti in 2007.
