21 Laps Entertainment

Background
21 Laps Entertainment is the production company of Canadian producer/actor Shawn Levy. Formed in 2008, the company's first production was Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian. In 2011, the company formed a partnership with agent-turned-producer Marty Adelstein, forming "21 Laps Adelstein" to produce television shows, the first being Last Man Standing for ABC.

Nicknames: "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:
 * 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.
 * At the end of Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, the logo is shortened.
 * On Stranger Things, the last few seconds of the logo are shown.
 * Starting with Stranger Things, the "21" is no longer rotated. This variant later appeared on Arrival, and is expected to appear on future releases.

FX/SFX: Everything. Great animation done by Picture Mill.

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

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

Editor's Note: None.
