21 Laps Entertainment

Background
21 Laps Entertainment (stylized onscreen as twenty-one laps entertainment) is the production company of Canadian producer/actor Shawn Levy, formed in 1999. It was formerly known as Wunjo, Inc. until 2005. In 2010, the company formed a partnership with agent-turned-producer Marty Adelstein (who also owns Adelstein/Parouse Productions), forming 21 Laps/Adelstein to produce television shows and signed a deal with 20th Century Fox Television.

(April 4, 2006-)
Nicknames: "Abstract 21L", "The Starfield"

Logo: We see a bright flash, which appears to be the front end of a moving line of light, accompanied by five more lines. We then pan over to see them creating glowing pathways, emitting sparkles. Finally they create an abstract "21L" and two lines collide in the very center, creating a flash. The result reads "21L", with "21" rotated 90 degrees left and a segment at the bottom of the "1" (which is supposed to represent a starting/finish line). The name below reads "twenty-one laps" and "entertainment" underneath. Dots of light appear and float in the background until the logo fades out.

Variants:
 * On the short-lived TV series Pepper Dennis, a prototype version exists where the light glows into a version of the "21L" logo, which also forms differently. The text is different and in.
 * A shortened version exists.
 * Starting in 2015, the "21" is no longer rotated.

FX/SFX: Great animation done by Picturemill.

Music/Sounds: An uprising synth tune with twinkling sounds and buzzing of the lines.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * Sometimes, the opening theme of the film plays over or none.
 * An alternate version exists, in which the fanfare is re-arranged and a cheering sound is heard when the logo flashes at the end.
 * The WB airings of Pepper Dennis used a generic theme and voiceover.

Availability: Common. First seen on Pepper Dennis. Also appeared on Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (it is omitted from the Blu-ray release), Date Night, The Watch, and other films from the company. It also appeared on Stranger Things and other television shows from the same company. Don't expect this logo to be seen on Imaginary Mary, despite Shawn Levy being credited as one of the executive producers on the show.

Editor's Note: None.
