Mindless Entertainment

Mindless Entertainment was formed in 1997 by Mark Cronin. In 2004, Cronin merged his company with Cris Abrego's 51 Pictures to form 51 Minds Entertainment. The name comes from Cronin's mother's citation "that mindless entertainment". They didn't used the logo until 1999.

Logo (1999-2008)


 Nicknames : "Mindless Brain", "Mindless", "The Scribble", "That Mindless Entertainment", "The Brain from Hell/of Doom", "That Brain"

Logo : On a white background, an odd scribble-like shape zooms in and spins clockwise on the left side while the word "Mindless" appears letter-by-letter and "Entertainment" flies in from the left.

Variant : In 2007, the logo is sped up.

FX/SFX : The names appearing.

Music/Sounds : A sound of what is likely some kind of horn that plays three notes and later holding a fourth note in a crazed, noisy fashion. On Cram, the end title theme of the show plays over the logo while the logo theme is playing.

Avaliability : Uncommon. It was seen on Cram, The X Show, Hurt Bert, Beat the Geeks, The Surreal Life, and The Flavor of Love 2. It was last spotted on TV Guide Network (now Pop) when they reran The Flavor of Love. Also used during the first four years under 51 Minds Entertainment.

Scare Factor : Low to high. The bizarre theme of this logo combined with eerie music can scare some novice viewers. Otherwise, you might find it quite fun and you might like its utter weirdness.
