(1983-1984)
Logo: On a blue background, sixteen images of two minstrels holding a frame drum appear one by one. Another one then swivels into view from the top edge, revealing the letters "M" and "E" on the drums. A white italic caption "Minstrel Entertainments", with a ligature above the first letter "s", zooms from the center to the top, while another caption, "A MEMBER OF THE P. LINARD GROUP OF COMPANIES" zooms to the bottom.
FX/SFX: The zooming of the main image and captions.
Music/Sounds: None.
Availability: Extremely rare. It was seen on the UK tapes of Superdome and She's In The Army Now!, both of which were distributed by CBS/FOX Video.
Legacy: The logo clearly references the minstrel show, which was popular in the past, but is now widely considered to be offensive. In the United Kingdom, the BBC aired the The Black and White Minstrel Show from 1958 to 1978, but the show continued to tour around the UK until 1989.
