Carlton International

Carlton International
Carlton International Media Limited was the worldwide television distribution and licensing unit of Carlton Television, which came under that name in March 1998 after Carlton Communications renamed CTE Carlton.

In February 2004, Carlton Communications and Granada Media Limited merged to form ITV plc, and Granada's international distribution unit was merged under Carlton's, renaming the business as Granada International Media Limited in July.

1st Logo (1998-1999)
Logo: We see the Carlton logo in white on a gradient background. Below that is the word "INTERNATIONAL", with the text "Carlton International Media Limited" below in a tiny font.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Rare.
 * It was seen on season 4 of Cadfael, a Sony Movies Action (now GREAT! Movies Action) airing of The Silent Enemy (1958), a TCM airing of An Ideal Husband (1947), and on later prints of several made for TV Movies by World International Network and Hamdon Entertainment.
 * It also appeared at the end of a later prints of the 1993 TV movie Complex of Fear, the 1994 TV movie This Can't Be Love, and the 1997 TV movie The Canterville Ghost, respectively, as well.

2nd Logo (September 6, 1999-2004)
Logo: Same as the 1999 Carlton Productions logo from the time, except the words "Distributed by" in a small font are added above the name, "INTERNATIONAL" in a larger font below the name, and the company name "Carlton International Media Ltd" in a tiny font on the bottom of the screen.

Variants:
 * A 16:9 widescreen variant exists.
 * A rare squished variant also exists which appears on a late-90s print of The Ordeal of Mr. Mudd (1980) after the 1987 ITC Entertainment "Gold Diamonds" logo. Also appears on TalkingPicturesTV UK airings of the 1966 film Doctor in Clover.
 * The logo was also used as a video game notice, consisting of the Carlton text in black and the star in on a white background. Underneath is copyright information.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the programme or none.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * For some variants, the logo is mostly silent, but the end tail of the programme's theme finishes over the first half.
 * On a Russian dub of The Brave Little Toaster (1987), the high toned variant of the 1987 ITC Entertainment "Gold Diamonds" fanfare with a Russian voiceover plays over the logo, due to a plastering error.

Availability: Once very common, as Carlton was well known for plastering older company logos with theirs. Nowadays this logo is replaced with ITV Studios logos, but it is still easy to find.
 * It plastered over the ITC logo on some of the company's shows and feature films throughout the late 1990s up to Carlton's merger with ITV plc, after which the original ITC logos were reinstated (on most TV episodes) or replaced with Granada International, Granada America, or ITV Studios logos (on feature films) on newer prints.
 * It may also sometimes plaster the Central logo on most drama shows and some episodes of game shows that they produced.
 * It also appears on some episodes of The Upper Hand after the Central logo as well.
 * It plasters the CTE logo on some re-runs of Bullseye and Family Fortunes and even appears on re-runs of Carlton-produced shows airing in the UK itself following the normal end cap.
 * It used to plaster over the Rank "Gongman" quite a lot until ITV remastered most Rank movies and left the logos intact. It still appears on current prints of some films that have yet to be digitally restored under ITV Studios' ownership, such as We Dive at Dawn (1942), The Naked Truth (1957) and The Plank (1967).
 * Few examples where the Carlton International logo does not plaster the Rank logo are on Carlton International-era prints of some films produced by Rank, such as Upstairs and Downstairs (1959), All Night Long (1962), and Carry On Matron (1972), where it precedes the Rank Organisation logo.
 * However, this combo does not appear on Carlton-era prints of some Rank films that retain the Rank Gongman, such as A Matter of Life and Death (1946) and Oliver Twist (1948) as they open with the Rank Gongman on its own.
 * It also appears on the beginning of international PAL DVD releases of The Brave Little Toaster (1987) and made a surprise appearance on a Thanksgiving Day rebroadcast of the 2002 adaptation of Pollyanna on PBS on November 24, 2016, as well as episodes 9 through 12 of the third season of The Dreamstone. It was also seen at the end of a Challenge airing of The Golden Shot as well.
 * It appears on many TV movies by Hamdon Entertainment, such as Desperate Justice (1993) (including the Spanish dub of the aforementioned movie), French prints of the 1998 TV movie When He Didn't Come Home (aka The Disappearing Act), among many other instances.
 * It also makes several surprise appearances:
 * It was seen at the end of a Virgin Media Three Ireland airing of the TV Movie Breakaway, aka Christmas Rush after the 1995 Columbia TriStar Domestic Television logo, as ITV owns some international rights to that movie.
 * It also appears before the Century 21 Productions logo at the start of the first episode of Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons on Britbox, due to it using an Carlton International-era print.
 * It also appears before the Century 21 Productions logo at the start of select episodes of The Secret Service (including the first-three episodes) on Britbox, due to the Carlton International-era prints being used.
 * It also makes a surprise appearance at the start of some episodes of Stingray on Britbox, due to them using Carlton International-era prints.
 * It also appears at the end of the TalkingPicturesTV UK airings of Doctor in Clover (1966) and at the start and end of The Firechasers (1971) as well.
