Main variants=
* ''Despicable Me'' and ''Despicable Me 2'' ([[ABC National IDs|ABC]] airing): A 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. The minion 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 the minion peeking in, but the text is already there.
**In the film's Blu-ray's Gru-Control special feature, continuing from the [[Universal Pictures]] logo after being changed to a documentary of Victor "Vector" Perkins on the Vector Channel, it cuts to the text appearing, as the minions cheer. And all of a sudden, Victor changes the channel, while Gru changed it back. The two super-villains quickly changed the channel back and forward, until Gru freezes Vector's head. The minions cheer as the logo resumes from where the minion standing stunned and felled over, then the screen zooms into the logo as the minion crawls off the screen, while Gru snickers.
* ''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 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 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.
** A version that starts where he says the company name was seen on the shorts ''The Secret Life of Kyle'' and ''Minion Scouts''.
** There is also another version without the "ENTERTAINMENT" text. This can be seen on a trailer for ''The Secret Life of Pets 2''.
