'''Logo:''' On a dark background with a reflective floor, a large stacked text reading "{{color|silver|'''ILLUMINATION''' ENTERTAINMENT}}" appears (
*''Despicable Me'' and ''Despicable Me 2'' ([[ABC National IDs|ABC]] airing): Stuart the minion peeks out from the right side of the screen, anxiously greeting the audience. Then, all of a sudden, the text appears behind him. Stuart is clearly frightened by the loud music that plays as it appears, and as the music ends, he stands stunned, and then falls over. He then crawls off the screen.
Line 67:
** The background, even the text, is covered entirely in snow, with snow also falling throughout. Stuart and Kevin are seen wearing Christmas outfits as they play with tambourines, while Bob plays in the snow, shouting out the company name as he sticks out his tongue. This is also seen at the start of the ''Minions Holiday Special''.
*''The Grinch'' (the film itself): Bob is on the right side of the screen, holding a sparkler, and says the company name. Snowball the rabbit from ''The Secret Life of Pets'' (voiced by Kevin Hart) drops down from the top of the screen, yells the name (proceeded by "Yeah!"), and startles Bob as pyrotechnics suddenly spray over the logo's stage, burning Bob's feet, while Snowball laughs manically. Then some sprinklers turn on, dousing the flames and covering Snowball in water. After Snowball says "Oh, man.", Bob gives his sparkler to Snowball, and the logo's text brightens up the screen to start the movie.
*''The Secret Life of Pets 2'': A {{color|red}} ball bounces under the text. 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 the company name before he gets pulled away, the dogs barking as they do. The logo then cuts to black.
*''Sing 2'': The animation is completely different compared to the other ones, and so does the text design. As the lights turn on, we see a closeup of Bob, Stuart and Kevin. Bob then leads them in song as they sing an anthem involving the company name and clap along while the camera slowly zooms out to reveal a countless crowd of other minons(including Otto and Mel). The camera then moves upwards, showing the text above. At the last second, the "ILLU" and "AT" in the text abruptly blackout (a mirrored reference to the previous film's variant) as the screen turns off.
*''Minions: The Rise of Gru'': Stuart swings past the text on a disco ball, calling out the company name as {{color|purple}} and {{color|blue}} lights follow. As the ball swings around, it knocks out some of the letters and Stuart tumbles off. When he gets back up, he notices the remaining letters spell "MINION". He turns to the camera excitedly and stutters "Min-min-min-", before the disco ball swings back into the frame and hits "ION", pushing it into "MIN" and crushing Stuart between them, thus creating "MINION". Stuart then says "Minion...", muffled.
Line 81:
*Starting with the second trailer of ''Despicable Me 3'' and the film itself, "ENTERTAINMENT" is removed.

'''Music/Sounds Variant:''' There used to be a version of the ''Despicable Me'' variant on the company's website that removes the footstep sound effects from the Minion, the fanfare sounds a little different and is louder and a little more bombastic, and the sounds when the Minion falls and crawls off-screen are different. Stuart's sounds are still the same, though.

Illumination (also known as Illumination Entertainment) is an American film and animation studio founded by Chris Meledandri in 2007 and co-owned by Universal Pictures, a division of its wholly owned subsidiary NBCUniversal.
The company was formed after Meledandri left as president of 20th Century Fox Animation and Blue Sky Studios in early 2007. While at those companies, he supervised or executive-produced movies including the first two Ice Age films, Robots, and Horton Hears a Who!. After leaving, a deal was announced positioning Illumination as Universal's family entertainment arm that would produce one to two films a year starting in 2010. During the summer the following year, Illumination acquired the animation department of the French animation and visual effects studio Mac Guff, and formed Illumination Mac Guff (now Illumination Studios Paris).
The studio is responsible for the Despicable Me, The Secret Life of Pets and Sing franchises, and the movies Hop, The Lorax, and The Grinch. The Minions from the former franchise are the studio's mascots.

Nicknames: "Minions", "Scared Minion", "Bunny Minion", "Crushed Minion", "Triumphant Minions", "Singing Minions", "Scared Minion II", "Excited Minion", "Singing Minions II", "Triumphant Minions II", "Minion + Snowball", "Scared Minion III", "Singing Minions III", "Crazy Minion"
Logo: On a dark background with a reflective floor, a large stacked text reading "ILLUMINATION ENTERTAINMENT" appears (written in Futura Condensed). Minions appear below the text (usually Bob or Stuart) and get up to different things, which vary by film:
Variants:
FX/SFX: The minions and the text, animated by Illumination themselves.
Music/Sounds: Just the minions (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. None or the opening theme of the trailer for the still versions. On How to Draw a Minion, it's the same as The Secret Life of Kyle and Minion Scouts, however, only Bob's voice is present.
Music/Sounds Variant: There used to be a version of the Despicable Me variant on the company's website that removes the footstep sound effects from the Minion, the fanfare sounds a little different and is louder and a little more bombastic, and the sounds when the Minion falls and crawls off-screen are different. Stuart's sounds are still the same, though.
Availability: Common. Seen on all of the company's films. Formerly seen on Illumination's website. The prototype variant for The Secret Life of Pets is unused, and can be found on Facebook. Also seen on the web short film How to Draw a Minion (2020).
Editor's Note: This logo has gained notoriety for its constant 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. Some have also proposed that the Minions could be absent, and have some other Illumination characters (doing what the Minions did in the prior films) substituting them for a few releases.
