'''Logo:''' On a dark background with a reflective floor, a large stacked text reading "{{color|silver|'''ILLUMINATION''' ENTERTAINMENT}}" (or in later years, "{{color|silver|'''ILLUMINATION'''}}") appears (written in Futura Condensed). Minions appear below the text (usually Bob and/or Stuart) and get up to a comedic skit, which varies:
* ''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, flashing brightly. 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.
**On the first two trailers for ''Hop'', there's a short version of this variant in which it just shows Stuart peeking in, but the text is already there.
** On the theatrical trailer for ''Sing'', it shows the part where Stuart falls.
* ''The Secret Life of Pets''(prototype): Stuart 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 Stuart. Stuart 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(outside ''Minions & More'') in which a minion does not look at the camera.
* ''The Secret Life of Pets''(final version) and ''Despicable Me 2''([[NBC National IDs|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 the light above the "I" in "MIN" glows. 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.

Minions & More=
'''Logo:''' Some of the variants are just like the main variants(minions with the text on a dark background), but in these logos, the minion trio(Kevin, Stuart and Bob from ''Minions'') and the rest of the minion group are joined by the following characters:
Miss Crawly and Ash from ''Sing''
Chloe the Cat and Snowball the Rabbit from ''The Secret Life of Pets''
The young Grinch from the film of the same name
The Lorax from the film of the same name
The minions still say the company name, but only in a few variants.
* ''Puppy'': Tom is seen flying towards the left, using cardboard box flaps as wings. He then stops in front of a large bright white light on the left. Tom becomes fascinated by the light, then decides to go towards it, and the light electrocutes him. He then falls to the ground and the camera quickly zooms out, revealing the large light to be the text and revealing dozens of other minions who have done the same thing as Tom, who painfully groans the company name.
* ''The Dog Days of Winter'': The minion trio 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 wearing {{color|red}} and white scarves and shivering. 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 being shaken by the young Grinch from his self-titled movie.
* ''Minion Scouts'': On a dark, starry night background, the top of the text can be seen at the bottom of the screen, with an {{color|orange}} glow. A wooden platform held by two strings lowers, holding the minion trio, who are ready to roast some marshmallows on the glowing text. Kevin and Stuart pull out their sticks, with four marshmallows on each one, and start roasting. Bob takes some time to pull out his stick, and when he does, it holds a huge jumble of marshmallows curled up in a ball, much to Kevin and Stuart's surprise. Bob laughs excitedly and says the company name in that manner, as the camera zooms out and reveals the rest of the text, which has a glowing top and a more metallic center and bottom.
* ''Norman Television'': This is the first ever variant without any minions. On a {{color|grey}} 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-like material, being broken due to the fall.
*''Training Wheels'': Carl can be seen sitting 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 the text 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 the company name in that manner.
*''Love at First Sight'': On a {{color|lightgreen}} background, Miss Crawly from ''Sing'' can be seen pushing various letters that form the 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", her work is finally finished, and she slowly walks across the text, which, in a far shot, she misspelled as "LILI MOUNTAIN".
*''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 Carl teaches him. As Bob reads the word in the chart wrong two times, Carl 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 in the normal font as Bob reads the company name correctly and says it happily afterward as Carl happily looks on.
