* ''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.
** On the second trailer, the lights are removed, and is cut short to the letters being knocked.

Minions & More 1=
For the Illumination mini-movie collection on [[Netflix Originals|Netflix]], they decided to create a bunch of custom variants that play before each short. Each of these plaster the shorts' original custom logos.
* '''Puppy''': One of the Minions is seen flying towards the left on a {{color|darkblue|dark blue}} background, using cardboard wings. We then see a large bright white light (possibly the second "N" in "ILLUMINATION") on the left as the Minion stops for a second and looks at the light before deciding to go towards it, causing him to get electrocuted. He then falls to the ground and the camera quickly zooms out, revealing the text and revealing dozens of other Minions with cardboard wings fallen down on the ground as they all say "Illumination..." at the same time in a disgruntled manner.
* '''The Dog Days of Winter''': Kevin, Stuart and Bob can be seen in front of a small gingerbread house with the text being seen on top of it while they stand in front of a blizzard. The camera slightly shakes as the area around them rumbles, slightly startling Bob. It happens again, only stronger, which causes Bob to almost be swept away by the snow as Kevin pulls him back. They stand there for a bit as the area shakes once more, this time causing all of them to float and spin around the house. The camera then zooms back to reveal that the area and the Minions are actually part of a snowglobe held by the young Grinch from his self-titled movie sitting on a couch as he happily looks at and shakes the snowglobe once more.
* '''Minion Scouts''': On a dark, starry night background, we see Kevin, Stuart and Bob again, this time descending in a wooden platform held by two strings as the Illumination logo can be seen at the bottom of the screen, albeit in a fiery texture. Kevin and Stuart pull out two sticks with marshmallows to fry in the fire below. Bob pulls out a giant stick with a huge jumble of marshmallows curled up in a ball as the Minions look in surprise. Kevin then looks at the fire happily while Stuart looks with a straight face. The camera zooms out and reveals the text, which has a fiery top and a more metallic center and bottom as Bob says "Illumination!" in a somewhat excited manner.
* '''Norman Television''': On the normal background (albeit with the letters on the ground instead of floating in the air like the normal logo), Chloe the Cat from ''The Secret Life of Pets'' comes in from the right and sees a {{color|green}} feather next to one of the letters as its edge causes the feather to be stuck. She then tries to take it off nicely, before cutting to a montage of her trying to take it off in several aggressive manners before she pushes the letter forward until it eventually topples, freeing the feather as she looks at it in surprise. The camera then zooms out and reveals another letter on the right with a {{color|purple}} feather stuck on it, which Chloe then spots and decides to leave the green one to try and take off. The camera zooms out again, revealing the letters to be the "I" and "N", with the "I", being made of glass-lile material, being broken due to the fall.
*'''Training Wheels''': Stuart can be seen standing on a bicycle in a dark room. He then sighs and cracks his fingers before starting to pedal the bike, which powers up some sort of electric machine that powers a huge lightbulb off-screen. We then cut to a wide shot of it, revealing several other Minions standing around the bulb which has "Illumination" in a scripted-style font being formed by the bulb's filament. As it lights up, the Minions gasp in admiration as one of them says "Illumination." in that manner.
*'''Love at First Sight''': On a {{color|lightgreen|light green}} background, Miss Crawley from ''Sing'' can be seen pushing various of the letters that form the Illumination text in an somewhat exasperated, but mostly tired manner, starting with the "N", as the camera angles change between every shot. After she pushes the "I" towards it's "place", she says "Okay. We're all set now." as she slowly walks across the text, which in a far shot is revealed to read "LILI MOUNTAIN".
