Background
Mentorn Barraclough Carey (formerly known as Barraclough Carey Productions) was the production company of Jenny Barraclough and George Carey that was founded in 1988 and made numerous documentaries throughout the 1990's. In 1997, the company merged with Mentorn Media, renaming the company to its current name.

1st Logo (June 30, 1991-November 14, 1993)
Logo: On a white wall background, a letter "C" with a very thin "B" overlapping it is on top of the stacked text "Times New Roman". Like with many other British logos, additional credits for co-producers appear below.

Variants:
 * Sometimes, a copyright notice is added underneath.
 * Redemption Song contains an early version of this logo where it is set on a black background.
 * There is a different variant of the BBC notice where said info is italicized with its copyright notice placed underneath.
 * An alternate version of the Channel 4 notice adds "TELEVISION" to the Channel 4 name alongside a differently worded copyright notice.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the program.

Availability: Possibly extinct; can be seen on documentaries produced by the company from this period, all of which can only be found through old video recordings as they are hardly preserved by the BBC or Channel 4. It appears on the Dispatches documentary "The Audit of War", several episodes of Moving Pictures, BiteBack, among others. Its last appearance was on the Bosnian War documentary The Unforgiving.

2nd Logo (January 31, 1994-August 4, 1997)
Logo: On a dark blue background, a ribbon has multiple cut curves before ending on top of the same text from before but in a more normal font. There are also co-producers like before.

Variants:
 * Sometimes, the logo is set on a black background.
 * On some programs such as Empire of the Censors, the font is different and more further away from the ribbons.
 * The text may also overlap with the ribbons to make more room for extra co-producers. This was seen on Messengers from Moscow.
 * Documentaries produced by the company's northern division adds the word "NORTH" next to "CAREY".
 * The BBC logo may appear underneath the logo on shows co-produced with them.
 * On 'The National Trust Centenary'', the National Trust logo is present underneath.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the program.

Availability: Extremely rare; like before, it was seen on BBC and Channel 4 documentaries from this period. Nearly all of them aren't preserved for modern releases and can be found through old tape recordings. However, one episode of BiteBack can be viewed on the BBC website and has this logo intact. The black background variant was seen on Knife to the Heart, Uppark - A Country House Reborn, Empire of the Censors, among others. The North variant can be found on Stones of the Raj and Village Voices.

1st Logo (November 20, 1997-2000)
Logo: Same as the Mentorn Media logo at the time except the ball reveals the fairly beveled letters "mbc" and the bottom text "Arial Black". Co-producers appear below after the animation sequence.

Variants:
 * Early programs containing this logo have the bottom text stacked.
 * A widescreen version of this logo exists.
 * On the Withnail and I extra "I Demand to Have Some Booze!", the logo appears to be stretched.

FX/SFX: Same as the Mentorn Media logo at the time.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the program.

Availability: Extremely rare. As before, it was mostly seen on Channel 4 documentaries from this period such as The Peculiar Memories Of Bruce Robinson and a UKTV History airing of The Crimean War. The early variant was seen on the latter documentary as well as The History of Cancer.

2nd Logo (May 15-Late 2000?)
Logo: Using the same animation sequence from last time, the logo now sits on a black background and the bottom text is un-bolded.

FX/SFX: Same as before.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the program.

Availability: Extremely rare; it had a short lifespan and only a few programs are known to have this logo. These include select early episodes of Secrets of the Dead, Babitsky's War, and the Without Walls documentary "The Cult That Couldn't Stop Killing".
