* ''Hop'': A flash of light shines on the "M" as the logo fades in. A minion stands in the center, staring at the camera. Another minion prances in from the left, wearing bunny ears and a cotton bunny tail, while carrying an Easter basket and tossing candy. He stops in front of the other minion and shows off his costume, but he is not amused. The latter tosses some candy at the former's goggle, chuckles nervously and takes off the ears, and the former looks back at the camera.
* ''The Lorax'': The text looks different. There isBelow, a minion attemptingattempts to cut down a truffula tree with a chainsaw, while another observes. However, the chainsaw shakes the tree, causing Lou the Barbaloot from the movie to fall out, and crush the former. The latter slowly backs away nervously from Lou, who is eating some truffula fruits.
* ''Despicable Me 2'' (most prints): Again, a different design for the text. Two minions stand in the bottom-right corner of the logo. The former poses and shouts "TA-DAAA!", then the latter shoves him aside and also shouts "TA-DAAA!" in a different pose. The former then shoves the latter and shouts "TA-DAAA!" once again, and then the two minions then start yelling "TA-DAAA!" at each other and start pushing and shoving until the former shoves the latter off-screen, and triumphantly yells "TA-DAAA!". The latter then chimes "TA-DAA!" off-screen, causing the former to mumble in frustration.
** On the theatrical trailer for ''Sing'', it shows the part where the minion passes out.
* ''The Secret Life of Pets'' (prototype): A minion is seen teasing a puppy by squeaking and pretending to throw a ball. He continues until a group of dogs come in from the right, and one of them barks at the minion. The minion then realizes he is being mean to the puppy and throws the ball, chuckling nervously, and the puppy goes after it, but the dogs instead start chasing him offscreen. Then, a chihuahua runs after the group of dogs, barking until it goes offscreen. This variant did not make it into the final movie for unknown reasons. This is also the first and so far only variant in which a minion does not look at the camera.
* ''The Secret Life of Pets'' (final version) and ''Despicable Me 2'' ([[NBC |NBC]] airing): The text is nowhere to be seen. Bob from ''Minions'' walks in from the right, scatting a tune. Just then, the text "MIN" and "ION" (perhaps not coincidentally, the word "Minion") turns on like a large neon sign and flashes briefly, while a {{color|lightblue|light blue}} glowing light dots the "I" in "MIN". The rest of the text turns on the same way. Bob looks at the text and is amazed. He then turns to the audience and shouts the company name twice before squeeing excitedly.
* ''The Secret Life of Pets 2'': A squeaky ball bounces in from the left. Six dogs on leashes run at the ball in the same direction it came, dragging a minion along. The dogs crowd at the ball and the minion smiles and chuckles with relief. The dogs soon knock the ball off-screen and stare at it for a moment before one of them barks, and they chase it down, all barking. The minion screams the company name as he gets dragged off-screen.
* ''Sing 2'': A light clunks on, isshowing Bob leading Stuart, Kevin, Otto, Mel and a large crowd of minions in a song involving the company name. Bob starts it off by singing the name, followed by Stuart adding backup vocals and Kevin clapping in rhythm. The camera slowly zooms out to reveal the rest of the minions, with Otto and Mel briefly visible. Bob sings various Minionese lyrics while the other minions clap and sing the name (with Otto shouting "Yeah!" in Bob's third row of lyrics). The camera stops panning at the text above. As the minions finish their song with one big note, Otto can be seen doing a bunny-ears bomb on Stuart, which briefly makes Mel chuckle. The text turns off, and "MIN" and "ION" (a mirrored reference to the previous film's variant) are visible for a split-second before the screen turns black.
** The first two trailers for ''Migration'' have this shortened to the last time the name is sung, and the screen is in the 2.39:1 aspect ratio.
** On the second trailer, the lights are removed, and is cut short to the letters being knocked out.
** On the last two trailers for ''Migration'', it is shortened to the minion swinging in.
** On a toolkit for the film is, various black stripes movingmove in on a {{color|yellow}} background, stopping when they form a line, and showing Kevin, Bob, Otto and Stuart, all in 2D. Otto shouts out the company name as the screen zooms out and see they are in a queue of minions on a black line above the text, in black, with the queue of minions as long as the text. The minions then stamp down the bottom of the line, which segues into the rest of the toolkit.
* ''Penglai'': There is theThe minion trio appear, animated in 2D, watering a plant. The text is also in 2D, and a bit bolder. Also seen on the end of the home video release trailer.
* ''The Super Mario Bros. Movie'' (trailers): We just see the text, which is smaller with a flash of light shining over the "T".
*''The Secret Life of Kyle'': Bob can be seen in the middle of an eye test, trying to read an off-screen snellen chart while another minion teaches him. As Bob reads the word in the chart wrong two times, the other minion gives him a pair of {{color|pink}} glasses with magnifying lens on them, making Bob's eyes seem bigger. The camera then cuts to an angle revealing the text on the chart as Bob reads it out correctly and happily repeats the company name afterward as the latter happily looks on.
*''Weenie'': There is Miss Crawly's glass eye is shown flying through different-coloured backgrounds, making contact with various Illumination characters. First, it bounces off Stuart while he is complaining at Bob for dropping his ice cream. Next, the Lorax and some Barbaloots try to catch the glass eye with a net, only to fling it into Chloe's mouth while she is yawning. She spits it out, it bounces off the Grinch and Ash hits it with her guitar like a baseball bat. The glass eye smashes through the neck of Delroy from ''Migration'', then through Snowball, while he is showing off. The glass eye then comes to a stop in front of it's rightful owner, Miss Crawly. She says "There you are!", picks it up, puts it in the socket and says "That's much better.". The camera cuts back to reveal the text as she walks away, and the other characters are seen.
*''Forces of Nature'': At early dusk with truffula trees in the background, there is the Lorax, holding a basket as he plants some seeds down. It then cuts to night where he uses a watering can, then cuts to him turning on two different lights, followed by him relaxing in the grass at daytime. The camera zooms away to reveal the text done in flowers.
*''Super Gidget'': The minion trio are seen sitting in a movie theater, laughing at a scene of a comedy movie. The camera pans to the left, showing other Illumination characters. We then see the Grinch and Snowball watching a scene of a scary movie. The Grinch winces in fear while Snowball screams and ducks. Next is Miss Crawly tearing up at the sight of a scene of a drama movie, drying her eye. The camera then stops panning, showing Ash and Chloe. Chloe is watching the movie with her tongue stuck out. Ash urges Chloe to put her tongue back in, and she does. The camera then cuts to the theater's screen, which shows the text.
*''Yellow is the New Black'': The text is seenappears on the floor. The minion trio enters from the right, apparently shopping for the text's letters. Kevin takes the first four letters in armfuls, while Stuart takes the "A" and Bob takes the third "I" and they scuttle off-screen. After a brief moment, Kevin is heard yelling at Bob, who walks back in, places his "I" between "MIN" and the "T" then hurries off with the "T", the letter he was supposed to take.
*''Eddie's Life Coach'': There is a close up of Ash jamming out on her guitar before zooming out to reveal the rest of her. As she jams out, several {{color|darkviolet|purple}} amp meters surround her, all shaped like the letters in the text. The screen cuts through the letters that spell "MINION", then zoom through several angles before zooming out to reveal all of the amp meters at once. The camera then zooms in on Ash's guitar for the last few notes before the screen cuts to black.
