==Central Television Enterprises/CTE Carlton== | ==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". | |||
===(1989-1998)=== | |||

'''Nicknames:''' "The Box", "CTE", "Rippling Box" | |||
'''Logo:''' On a white background, we see a {{Font color|purple|purple}}-{{Font color|blue|blue}} gradient lined box. In the box is the {{Font color|silver|silver}} text "{{Font color|silver|''Cte''}}". The box ripples once, turning the text white. | |||
'''Variant:''' An extended variant exists, here on a white background we see purple-blue box fills up as lines slide in to cover the box. The "Cte" text swings in and lands on the box, making it ripple and turning the text white, forming the logo above. | |||
'''FX/SFX:''' 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 or plastering the [[Central Productions]] endcap. However sometimes, it will only appear for a split second before being cut off, while others plaster this with the 1999 [[Carlton Productions|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'', but CITV has not aired this show for years, and some airings would also plaster the logo for the 1999 Carlton International logo, or the 2004 [[ITV Studios|Granada]] logo on some late-2000 airings, while some select episodes have the 1995 Central Productions logo instead. | |||
* 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|BVS Video]], such as ''Inspector Morse: The Way Through the Woods''. | |||

In March 1998, CTE Carlton was fully rebranded under the Carlton name, becoming '''Carlton International Media Ltd.''', trading as '''Carlton International'''. | |||

'''Logo:''' Same as the [[Carlton Productions]] logo from the time, however, 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 appears on a late-90s print of ''The Ordeal of Mr. Mudd'' (1980). | |||
* The logo was 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. | |||
'''FX/SFX:''' 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 "Gold Diamonds" fanfare and featuring a Russian voiceover plays over the Carlton International variant, due to a plastering error. | |||
'''Availability:''' Used to be very common, as Carlton were 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 that 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, Granada America, or ITV Studios logos (on feature films) on newer prints. | |||
* It may also sometimes plaster the [[Central Independent Television |Central]] logo on most drama shows and some episodes of game shows that they produced. It also plasters the [[Central Television Enterprises |CTE]] logo on some re-runs of Central-produced shows like ''Bullseye'' and ''Family Fortunes'' and even appears on re-runs of Carlton-produced shows airing in the UK itself following the normal end cap, as well as a few Carlton America releases. | |||
* It sometimes plasters over the Rank Gongman, on current prints of some films produced by Rank that have yet to be digitally restored under ITV Studios' ownership, such as ''The Naked Truth'' (1957) and ''The Plank'' (1967). | |||
** Few examples where the Carlton International logo does not plaster the Rank Gongman, 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 Gongman. | |||
* The Carlton International logo also appears at 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''. The international logo was also seen at the end of a Challenge airing of ''The Golden Shot'', after the [[Hamdon Entertainment]] on TV movies that Hamdon produced 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 [[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 |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 HTV logo. | |||
** It also appears on a DVD print of the 2002 TV movie ''Sightings: Heartland Ghost'' after the 1995 Paramount Television logo. | |||
* The video game variant was seen on ''Thunderbirds: International Rescue'' for Game Boy Advance. | |||
