Line 40:
*''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.
*''Hop'': Stuart stands in the centre, staring at the camera
*''The Lorax'': The name looks different. We see Stuart attempting to cut down a truffula tree with a chainsaw, while Tom observes. Lou the Barbaloot from the movie then falls out of the tree, due to it's shaking from the chainsaw, and crushes Stuart. Tom slowly backs away nervously from Lou, who is eating some truffula fruits.
Line 46:
*''Despicable Me 2'' (most prints): Again, a different design for the text. Minions Stuart and Tom stand at the bottom right corner of the logo. Stuart sings "TA-DAAA!", then Tom shoves him aside and also sings "TA-DAAA!". Stuart then shoves Tom and sings "TA-DAAA!" once again, and then the two minions then start yelling "TA-DAAA!" at each other and start pushing and shoving until Stuart shoves Tom off-screen, and triumphantly yells "TA-DAAA!". Tom then chimes "TA-DAA!" off-screen, causing Stuart to mumble in frustration while glancing out at the audience.
*''Minions'': The preceding [[Universal Pictures]] logo has a five-Minion chorus singing along with the logo theme, and one minion voice continues to sing the closing
*''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 from the film comes in, and one starts to bark. Stuart then throws the ball, chuckling nervously, 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.
Line 60:
**On the trailers and TV spots, we see Stuart, Kevin and Bob in the center laughing. Also, they looked pasted on the template rather than added in.
*''Despicable Me 3'': Three minions are seen, Kevin, Stuart and Mel. Kevin clears his throat and tries to say the company name, but Stuart knocks him out with a vase. He tries to do the same, but Mel hits him into the floor with a hammer. Bob comes by with the fart gun from the first two movies. As Mel is saying the name, he stops to question the fart gun, to which Bob sprays gas, causing Mel to faint in disgust. Bob then says the name and chuckles. The unconscious Mel farts on Bob and he shakes his hand in disgust.
*''The Grinch'' (trailers):
** The text is off. Bob turns a flashlight on and says the company name in a dark manner, laughing maniacally afterwards. The text suddenly turns on and he runs off in fear.
** The text appears above at first. Carl is seen in the distance with a party blower, Kevin, who is close to the camera and annoyed by the blower. He then grabs Carl with the blower,
** 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
*''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-screen, the dogs face the direction, chase it down and Stuart screams the company name as he gets pulled away, the dogs barking as they do.

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 (because of this, they tend to make cameos in the studio's other films).

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.
*The lyrics to the minions' song in the Sing 2 variant:*
Bob: Illumination
Stuart: Illumination
Bob: Ovee avee nubu laee
Stuart and Kevin: Illumination
Bob: Laca mara qui
Minions: Illumination
Bob: Noba lubi papi lu (Otto: Yeah!)
Minions: Illumination
Bob: Illumination...
Minions: Illumination...
