Carlton Productions

Background
Carlton UK Productions was formed in 1994 from a merger between the production divisions of Carlton Television and Central Independent Television. It was folded in 1997 when Carlton got a rebrand.

1st Logo (1994-August 26, 1997)
Logo: This is an in-credit notice of the Carlton logo with "UK Productions" added.

Variants:
 * On the Wolves, Witches & Giants special "Cinderella", the notice is in black.
 * On Dale's Supermarket Sweep, the logo takes place on the same marble background as the 1995 Carlton and 1988 Central endcaps. Plus, the text is stylized like the next logo.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the show.

Availability: Uncommon.
 * It was seen on episodes of Family Fortunes, Link, Dale's Supermarket Sweep and Tots TV, among others.
 * Some episodes of Cadfael such as "A Morbid Taste for Bones" also contain this logo. However, most of series 2 and one episode of series 3 uses the next logo below and series 1 has no closing logo whatsoever. On a different note, Cadfael was the last show to bear the Carlton UK Productions name with the series 3 finale, "The Raven in the Foregate".

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (March 15, 1995-August 19, 1997)
Logo: Next to a black planet with fire glowing out, we see the text "CARLTON UK Productions" on the top right hand side of the screen. If there is a co-producer (e.g. Ragdoll Productions), their logo will appear above Carlton's with "FOR" appearing on top of the latter.

Variants:
 * An animated variant exists where as the fire is burning, the Carlton notice fades out and the screen zooms into the flames rising out of a portion of the planet, crossfading into the Central logo.
 * Sometimes, the planet is on the bottom left corner of the screen whereas the notice is on the bottom right.
 * A copyright notice, usually containing "CARLTON UK Television", may be seen underneath the company's name.
 * For programmes co-produced with Channel 4, a notice from said company in the same font as the Carlton logo is placed underneath.
 * Sometimes, the notice is inside the planet.
 * "FOR" may also be replaced with "AND".
 * On current prints of Sharpe's Gold, the copyright notice is changed to a "ITV Studios" one.
 * On Celebrity Squares, copyright info would appear below the logo.

FX/SFX: None for the standard version. The animated variant has the fire burning and the screen zooming into it.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the show.

Availability: Uncommon. Despite its short lifespan, it was often seen on many Carlton co-produced shows at the time, especially in 1995.
 * The normal variant without any co-producers can be seen on Challenge airings of 1995 Bullseye episodes and some series 2 and 3 episodes of Cadfael up to "Saint Peter's Fair", which would be the logo's last appearance. Some episodes from said series would use the previous logo, however. It can also be seen on Peak Practice.
 * The animated variant is ultra rare and was spotted on a Challenge airing of an unknown 1995 episode of Bullseye.
 * Shows that have the Carlton notice inside the planet mostly consists of game shows such as Challenge airings of Catchphrase, Dale's Supermarket Sweep, and Celebrity Squares.
 * The variant with the planet on the bottom left corner can be seen on Sharpe's Gold, The Story Store, Cone Zone, The Clive James Story and Moving Story.
