Nicknames: "Mindless Brain", "Mindless", "The Scribble"
Logo: On a white background, there is a mindless brain, which happens to be in scribble zooming-in and spinning clockwise on the left side while the words "Mindless" is spelled and "Entertainment" flies in from the left.
Variant: In 2007, the logo is sped-up.
FX/SFX: The names appearing.
Cheesy Factor: The way "Entertainment" flies in is tacky, like the Charles-Burrows-Charles Productions and the 1975-1987 Paramount Television logos.
Music/Sounds: A sound of an electric guitar 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.
