21 Laps Entertainment

Background
21 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 2011, the company formed a partnership with agent-turned-producer Marty Adelstein, forming 21 Laps Adelstein to produce television shows.

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

Logo: We see a bright orange 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 line 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:
 * Until 2015, the abstract was "TOL".
 * On the short-lived TV series Pepper Dennis, a prototype version exists where the light glows into the red version of the "TOL" logo.
 * On The Internship, when the logo forms, it fades to the opening scene.
 * On Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb, the light in the middle of the logo flashes bright, and starts the opening scene.
 * A shortened version exists at the end of Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day and the series Stranger Things.
 * Also, starting with the above aforementioned series, the "21" is no longer rotated.
 * On Fist Fight, the logo is white and blue on a black background as it zooms in slowly; like the other studio logos.

FX/SFX: Great animation done by Picture Mill.

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

Music/Sounds Variant: An alternate fanfare exists. It starts with a 4-note descending xylophone tune then ends with another 4-note synthesized tune. It sounds similar to the Roadshow Films fanfare.

Availability: First seen on Pepper Dennis. Also appeared on Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (but it is omitted from the Blu-ray release), Date Night, The Watch, and other films from the company. It also appeared on Stranger Things.

Editor's Note: None.
