The company was originally created after [[Carlton Communications]] purchased [[Pickwick Video (UK)|Pickwick Video]] in 1994 and rebranded the company as '''Carlton Home Entertainment''' (also known as '''Carlton Video''' or '''CTE Video''' for Central Television shows) and later '''Carlton Visual Entertainment'''. | The company was originally created after [[Carlton Television (UK)|Carlton Communications]] purchased [[Pickwick Video (UK)|Pickwick Video]] in 1994 and rebranded the company as '''Carlton Home Entertainment''' (also known as '''Carlton Video''' or '''CTE Video''' for Central Television shows) and later '''Carlton Visual Entertainment'''. | ||
After the merger of Carlton and [[Granada Television (UK)|Granada]] in 2004, the latter ended their existing contract with [[Video Collection International (UK)|VCI]] and rebranded Carlton's home video unit as '''Granada Ventures''', therefore allowing all ITV-produced shows to be branded under one name. By 2006, releases were branded under the '''ITV DVD''' name and later in 2010 and 2013 - '''ITV Studios Home Entertainment''' and '''ITV Studios Global Entertainment''' respectively, although the parent company's name remained as was until 2013, when it was renamed as ITV Ventures. | After the merger of Carlton and [[Granada Television (UK)|Granada]] in 2004, the latter ended their existing contract with [[Video Collection International (UK)|VCI]] and rebranded Carlton's home video unit as '''Granada Ventures''', therefore allowing all ITV-produced shows to be branded under one name.

===1st Logo (1995-1997)=== | |||
{{Noise Warning}} | |||
'''Nicknames:''' "Beelzebub's Letters", "Blood Letters" | |||
'''Logo:''' The camera passes by giant zoomed-in letters of the name "CARLTON" on a {{Font color|red|red}} background. Once we see "N" zoom in, it dissolves into the full logo. "Video" fades in as well under the name. | |||
'''FX/SFX:''' The close-up of the letters, the "Video" blurring in. | |||
'''Music/Sounds:''' A droning synth chord with whooshes. The first whoosh is very long, sudden and loud. | |||
'''Availability:''' Very rare. Appears at the beginning and end of Carlton Video VHS releases, most notably ''The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies'', ''Bananas In Pyjamas'', ''Tots TV'', and ''Starla & the Jewel Riders'', among others. However, later releases still had the logo, but used the Carlton Home Entertainment logo that was only seen at the end of the tape. | |||
'''Editor's Note:''' Along with the related Screen Advertising logo, this has known to scare viewers who aren't expecting it with its appearance and dramatics. | |||
===2nd Logo (1997-1999)=== | |||
'''Logo:''' Just the 1995 [[Carlton Television (UK)|Carlton Television]] logo. | |||

*There is also a longer variant. The O descends slower and a brief piano track follows the 5-note harp tune. | |||
*A variant for promos has the Carlton logo at the top of the screen. | |||
'''FX/SFX:''' The O descending and the colour of the background changing. | |||
