* Alternatively, a different long version is used. The background is different, featuring blocks of transparent glass rotating in the background, as six glass bars can be seen in descending size. These slowly spread out and rotate towards the screen to reveal that it's the Carlton logo, and it stays on-screen while it shines. Another variant also has an alternating hue in the background, and it effectively flips the animation at the end. | * Alternatively, a different long version is used.

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

It then brings forth a differently-colored background with revolving Carlton stars (which is a five-pointed star with another five-pointed star cut out of it), with the flash receding into a blurry white version of it that focuses in, where it also has the "CARLTON" text along with the 1998 ITV (later 2001 ITV1) logo below it. A byline reading "www.carlton.com" is also seen below. The logo continues to glow a hazy white aura around the edges. | ||
