===Background===
==Background==
'''ITV Studios Global Entertainment''' is the international distribution and British home video imprint of [[ITV (UK)|ITV plc]].
'''ITV Studios Global Entertainment''' is the international distribution and British home video imprint of [[ITV (UK)|ITV plc]]. It has its roots in [[Carlton Television (UK)|Carlton]] and [[Granada Television (UK)|Granada]]'s 2004 merger into ITV plc. At the time, Carlton had their [[Carlton Home Entertainment (UK)|existing home video unit]], while Granada had a deal with [[Video Collection International (UK)|Video Collection International]]. The merger meant the deal could be revoked and that Granada programs were able to be released through Carlton's unit, which was absorbed into Granada Ventures, therefore allowing all ITV-produced shows on DVD to be branded under one name. In 2006, the company began trading as ITV DVD, which later became ITV Studios Home Entertainment. In 2013, with the wake of ITV's rebranding, the company was merged into the new division ITV Studios Global Entertainment.


==Carlton Video/Carlton Home Entertainment/Carlton Visual Entertainment==
==1st Logo (as ITV DVD) [2006-2010]==
After [[Carlton Television (UK)|Carlton Communications]] purchased [[Pickwick Video (UK)|Pickwick Video]] in 1992, the company rebranded Pickwick as '''Carlton Home Entertainment''' in 1995. The company traded under the names of '''Carlton Video''' or simply the regular Carlton name on-screen. The company was later renamed '''Carlton Visual Entertainment''' in 2002.
 
===1st Logo (1995-1997)===
{{YouTube|id=LTacbA6J40k}}
'''Nicknames:''' "Beelzebub's Letters", "Blood Letters"
 
'''Logo:''' The camera passes by giant zoomed-in letters of the name "CARLTON" on a {{color|red}} background. Once we see the "N" zoom in, it dissolves into the full logo. "Video" fades in as well under the name.
 
'''FX/SFX:''' The close-up of the letter, "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 [[Digital Cinema Media (UK)|Carlton Screen Advertising]] logo, this has been known to scare viewers who aren't expecting it with its dramatic appearance.
 
===2nd Logo (1997-1999)===
 
'''Logo:''' Just the 1995 Carlton Television logo without any video indicator whatsoever.
 
'''FX/SFX:''' Same as the Carlton Television logo.
 
'''Music/Sounds:''' Same as the Carlton Television logo.
 
'''Availability:''' Very rare; appears on certain Carlton Video VHS releases.
 
'''Editor's Note:''' None.
 
===3rd Logo (1998-1999)===
{{YouTube|id=3A0SKx25k2g}}
 
'''Logo:''' It's the Sunrise/Sunset variant of the 1996 Carlton Television ident.
 
'''Variant:'''
*There is also a longer variant, where 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.
 
'''Music/Sounds:''' A short 5-note harp tune (basically the Carlton jingle from the time).
 
'''Availability:''' Same as the previous logo.
 
'''Editor's Note:''' None.
 
===4th Logo (1999-2004)===
{{YouTube|id=-GFxkNV7xx4}}
 
'''Logo:''' The finished product of the 1999 Carlton ident, without the ITV logo (similar to the version used on TV productions).
 
'''Variants:'''
*The background may be still.
*"VIDEO" is seen below the logo in some occasions.
*The URL may also appear below.
 
'''FX/SFX:''' Same as the Carlton Television logo.
 
'''Music/Sounds:''' None.
 
'''Availability:''' Very rare. Appeared on Carlton Video VHS and DVD releases from the time period. Some reissues of Carlton Video DVD releases in the ITV plc era will either keep this intact or mainly replace this with the ITV DVD logo.
 
'''Editor's Note:''' None.
 
==Granada Ventures==
In 2004, both Carlton Communications and [[Granada Television (UK)|Granada]] merged to form "ITV plc". At the time, Carlton had their existing home video unit, while Granada had a deal with [[Video Collection International (UK)|Video Collection International]]. The merger meant the deal could be revoked and that Granada programs were able to be released through Carlton's unit, which was soon rebranded as '''Granada Ventures''', therefore allowing all ITV-produced shows on DVD to be branded under one name.
 
===1st Logo (2004-2005)===
'''Logo''': On a {{color|purple}} background, the 2004 Granada logo with "Ventures" below is shown.
 
'''FX/SFX''': None.
 
'''Music/Sounds''': None.
 
'''Availability''': Seen on Granada Ventures DVD releases from the era.
 
'''Editor's Note''': Nothing much to say here. It's clear to be an obvious placeholder for the next logo.
 
===2nd Logo (2005-2013)===
{{YouTube|id=FCtKP2etzto}}
 
'''Logo''': Same as the 2004 Granada logo, but the word "Ventures" in a white font fades down on the bottom of the screen.
 
'''Variant''': A shorter variant exists.
 
'''FX/SFX''': Same as the full version of the 2004 Granada logo.
 
'''Music/Sounds''': Same as the full version of the 2004 Granada logo.
 
'''Availability''':
*Appears on releases from this time period, such as ''Pocoyo & Friends: Volume 1''.
*The shorter variant appears on ITV releases that were licensed to independent distributor Network Distributing.
*It makes a surprise appearance on the Talking Pictures TV airing of ''The Arsenal Stadium Mystery'' (1939).
 
'''Editor's Note''': None.
 
==ITV DVD==
By 2006, Granada's home video unit began to trade under the '''ITV DVD''' name.
