** The logo is covered entirely in snow, with snow also falling throughout. Three minions are seen wearing Christmas outfits as they play with tambourines, while one of the minions plays in the snow, shouting out the company name as he sticks out his tongue. This is also seen at the start of ''Minions Holiday Special''.

*''The Secret Life of Pets 2'': A red ball bounces under the logo. Six dogs pull Stuart, who is yelling "Stop-ah! Stop-ah!" at them. The dogs crowd at the ball and Stuart smiles. As the ball bounces off, the dogs face the direction, and Stuart screams "Uh...Illumination!" before he gets pulled away, the dogs barking as they do. The logo cuts to black.

Illumination (formerly Illumination Entertainment) is the animation production company of Chris Meledandri, the executive producer of Ice Age and Robots. It is now a subsidiary of Universal Studios, itself a division of NBCUniversal, but didn't use a logo until the cinema debut of Despicable Me in 2010. The studio is best known for the popular Despicable Me franchise, its spinoff Minions, and the films The Secret Life of Pets and Sing.
Nickname: "Minions"
Logo: Each film released by the company has a different variant, but they all involve the Minions (the popular side characters from Despicable Me; usually Kevin, Bob and Stuart) doing a comedic skit in front of, or interacting with, the large stacked text "ILLUMINATION ENTERTAINMENT" (with "ILLUMINATION" written in Futura Condensed).
Variants:
FX/SFX: The minion(s) and the text, animated by Illumination themselves. None for the still versions.
Music/Sounds: Just the minion(s) (voiced by Pierre Coffin) making noises or saying/singing the company name. On the Despicable Me variant, a loud, bombastic three-note fanfare is heard as the logo appears, kinda sounding like the Viacom "Wigga-Wigga" logo, causing the minion to be stunned by the music and falling down. None or the opening theme of the trailer for the still versions.

Editor's Note: This logo is a mixed bag for its use of Illumination's mascots, the Minions, and opinions will vary wildly based on whether you find the Minions charming or annoying. The Sing 2 variant is generally considered the best even by those who dislike the other logos, however, and some think it should become the main logo on future films, or the Minions could be replaced with other Illumination characters (doing what the Minions did in prior films) for a few releases.
