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.

2nd Logo (September 6, 1999-2004)
Logo: Same as the 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), French prints of When He Didn't Come Home (1998), 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.
 * It was also seen on a Family Channel Canada airing of The Snow Queen, after the HTV logo.
 * It also appears on a DVD print of the 2002 TV movie Sightings: Heartland Ghost after the 1995 Paramount Television logo.
 * It also appears at the end of a Virgin Media Three airing of the 1997 TV movie The Woman in White as well.
 * It also appears on a PAL DVD release of Shattered Promises (1992) after the Steve Krantz Productions logo at the end as well.
 * It also appears at the start of a Shout! Factory TV print of the 1990 TV movie People Like Us before the 1987 ITC Entertainment "Gold Diamonds" logo as well.
 * It also appears at the end of a Amazon Freevee print of the 1988 TV movie David after the 1987 ITC Entertainment "Gold Diamonds" logo as well.
 * It also appears at the end of Syfy UK airings of the last ever episode of Thunderbirds (1965 TV series) titled "Give or Take a Million" after the 1987 ITC Entertainment "Gold Diamonds" logo as well.
 * It also appeared at the end of a Film4 UK 2020 airing of Death Drums Along the River (1963) as well.
 * It also appears at the end of a later print of The Saint episode "A Double in Diamonds", which is then followed by the 2013 ITV Studios Global Entertainment logo as well.
 * It also appeared at the end of a March 10, 2023 airing of the 1996 TV movie Element of Doubt on Virgin Media Three as well.
 * It also appeared on a late 1990s print of the 1990 TV movie The Lost Capone as well.
