Carolco Television Productions/Summary

Background: Carolco Television Productions was the television production division of Carolco Pictures.

===1st Logo (April 14-December 18, 1986)===

Nickname: "Flashing C"

Logo: Same as the 1986 movie logo, but sped-up.

FX/SFX: Same as the 1986 logo.

Music/Sounds: The same orchestrated piece from the 1985 logo.

Availability: Rare. Seen on Rambo: The Force of Freedom.

===2nd Logo (1990-1991)===

Nicknames: "Laser Light", "The Laser Light C"

Logo: We see the original 1988 logo formed, shining and zooming out as usual. Once completed, the words "TELEVISION PRODUCTIONS" fade under the logo.

Variants:
 * On Shattered Dreams, we see a screen reading "A ROGER GIMBLE PRODUCTION FOR" in the same font as the company name, then it fades to this logo. Also, the "TELEVISION PRODUCTIONS" is fully centered.
 * On the first season of The $100,000 Pyramid with John Davidson, there is an in-credit text that reads:

In Association With CAROLCO TELEVISION PRODUCTIONS


 * Another version just has "Television" below.

FX/SFX: The logo forming and letters appearing.

Music/Sounds: The last part of the Carolco Pictures fanfare or the closing theme ending over it.

Availability: Ultra rare for the animated logo, as it was seen on the Turner prints of the TV Movie Chernobyl: Final Warning on VHS. Don't expect to see this on Dangerous Passion and Two-Fisted Tales, as both films instead open with Carolco's 1988 theatrical logo. The Carolco Television variant is extinct and was seen at the end of an Encore Love airing of Maid to Order, released by The Vista Organization; Carolco purchased the New Century Vista catalog in 1993.

Editor's Note: The "TELEVISION PRODUCTIONS" lettering seems chroma-keyed and slightly off-center.
