* A 1994 ad for Del Monte parodied this logo. The text "'''CARLTON'''" was changed to "'''CARTON'''", and The Man from Del Monte (played by Brian Jackson) appeared pouring juice into a glass cup. An announcer says "You're watching...Carton" at the end.

'''Technique:''' Just the moving background.
'''Technique:''' CGI.


'''Music/Sounds:''' A synth theme combined with an uninspired 8-note fanfare usually played on a trumpet. The fanfare is also sometimes played on a different instrument. In the variants not featuring "ordinary Londoners", a voice-over would sometimes say: "You're watching Carlton, Television for London" or "This is Carlton, Television for London".

'''Trivia:''' This logo was produced by the promotions team at Central Television, which Carlton acquired in 1994, so it's no real coincidence that the aforementioned background colours are the same as the colours in the Central "cake".

'''Technique:''' The background animation, the logo shining.
'''Technique:''' CGI.


'''Music/Sounds:''' A "futuristic"-styled tune with ethereal synths, phaser noises, and orchestral and jazz instruments, while being backed by a continuity announcer. The long version uses different music.

'''Availability:'''  Extinct; appeared in the regions Carlton owned (London Weekdays, Central, Westcountry and eventually Wales/West in 2001 after Carlton purchased HTV due to rights reasons).

'''Legacy:''' While it does provide a unique take on the "Hearts" identity that the Granada/UNM stations had at the time, its elimination of the coveted Central and less remembered Westcountry names sour its reputation slightly. Overall, a worthy effort to cap off Carlton's 9-year tenure at ITV.
