==Central Television Enterprises/CTE Carlton==
'''Central Television Enterprises Limited''' was founded in 1987 by [[Central Independent Television|Central]] for sales, sponsorship and newsgathering operations, as well as being the company's key international distributor of programming. It would later represent output sales for [[Harlech Television/HTV|HTV]], [[Meridian Television|Meridian]] and [[Carlton Television|Carlton]].
When Carlton acquired Central in 1994, it included CTE, which was renamed as '''CTE Carlton Limited''', with "CTE" now standing for "Carlton Television Enterprises".

'''Logo:''' On a white background, we see a {{color|darkviolet|purple}}-{{color|blue}} gradient lined box with the text "{{color|silver|''Cte''}}" in it. The box ripples once, turning the text white.
'''Variant:''' An extended variant exists. Here, we see {{color|darkviolet|purple}}-{{color|blue}} lines slide in to form the box. The "{{color|silver|''Cte''}}" text swings in and lands on the box, making it ripple and turning the text white, forming the logo above.
'''Technique:''' The rippling.
'''Music/Sounds:''' A synth note with some twinkles.
'''Music/Sounds Variants:'''
* On the extended version, sharp noises are heard when the lines slide in. A cymbal crash when the CTE lands on the box and the same synth note from the normal logo. This was also used for the [[CTE Video]] logo.
* On some 1994 episodes of ''Family Fortunes'', the CTE logo plays over the end of the closing theme.
'''Availability:''' Rare. It appeared on some reruns of Central shows and some ITC films.
* Challenge airings of ''Family Fortunes'' from 1983-1984 and 1993-1995 keep this logo intact, sometimes appearing after or plastering the [[Central Productions]] endcap. However, sometimes, it will only appear for a split second before being cut off. Some airings may plaster this with the 1999 Carlton International or the 2013 ITV Studios Global Entertainment logos.
* It is unknown if Challenge airings of ''Bullseye'' keep this logo intact as most episodes that currently air on the channel don’t contain any distribution logos and if they did, the 1999 Carlton International logo is most likely to appear.
* It was also seen on old CITV airings of ''Wolves, Witches and Giants'', plastering the Central Productions endcap. As with the shows above, prints with either the 1999 Carlton International or the 2004 Granada International logos may plaster this logo, while some episodes retained the Central Productions endcap.
* This was sighted on a 1990s printing of ''An Ideal Husband'' (1947).
* Appeared on a True Movies airing of the TV movie ''The Perfect Tribute''.
* The extended variant is extremely rare, and is only known to appear on North American VHS releases from [[BFS Video]], such as ''Inspector Morse: The Way Through the Woods''.
==Carlton International==
In March 1998, CTE Carlton was fully rebranded under the Carlton name, becoming '''Carlton International Media Ltd.''', trading as '''Carlton International'''.

'''Logo:''' We see the Carlton logo in white on a {{color|pink}} gradient background. Below that is the word "'''INTERNATIONAL'''", with the text "Carlton International Media Ltd." 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 [[Carlton America|Hamdon Entertainment]].

'''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.
* The logo was also used as a video game notice, consisting of the Carlton text in black and the star in {{color|orange}} 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 1987 [[ITC Entertainment Group|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, [[ITV Entertainment|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 Productions|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 [[The Rank Organisation|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 Television|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 [[Harlech Television/HTV|HTV]] logo.
** It also appears on a DVD print of the 2002 TV movie ''Sightings: Heartland Ghost'' after the 1995 [[Paramount Television (1967-2006)|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 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.
* The video game variant was seen on ''Thunderbirds: International Rescue'' for Game Boy Advance.
==Granada International==
In February 2004, Carlton and Granada merged into ITV plc, bringing the two ITV franchises together.

** It sometimes plasters the Granada America logo on TV shows, some TV movies and the 1999 Carlton International logo on some shows.
* This also appears at the beginning of then-current prints of many films from its library including films from [[The Rank Organisation]].
** This also appeared at the beginning of a December 6, 2020 UK airing of ''Doctor in Clover'' (1966) on Talking Pictures TV with the 1999 Carlton International logo appearing at the end.
* The silent variant is seen on ''Thunderbirds'' kiddie rides with video screens from Jolly Roger and also appears on some movies as well.
