Carlton Video (first era)

WARNING: The video contains a loud whooshing sound, so we recommend that you turn down your audio equipment.

1st Logo
(1995-1997)

<iframe align="right" frameborder="0" height="230" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/unknown/d0426979e227b5609e2c46a74ecbec288e163255" width="306"></iframe>Nicknames: "Beelzebub's Letters", "Blood Letters"

Logo: The camera passes by giant zoomed-in letters of the name "CARLTON" on a 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 unexpected viewers with its appearance and dramatics.
