'''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"
* ''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.
**On the former film's Blu-Ray, if you select the "Gru Control" option, the preceding Universal logo and the ''Despicable Me'' variant are seen on a screen that Gru turns on, with a bunch of Minions underneath cheering. Throughout the logo, the scene cuts to the antagonist Vector on a couch switching the logo to "Vector Channel" which annoys Gru and the group of Minions. As the Illumination Entertainment logo is shown, at the point where the text shines and startles the Minion, Gru and Vector repeatedly switch in between the Illumination logo and the Vector Channel, and Vector's head is then frozen by the Freeze Ray from the film off-screen. The Minions cheer one last time as the camera pans into the screen, and the titles appear.
**On the first two trailers for ''Hop'', there's a short version of the ''Despicable Me'' variant in which it just shows Stuart peeking in, but the text is already there.
* ''Hop'': Stuart stands in the centre, staring at the camera. He then looks depressingly at Dave, wearing bunny ears and a cotton bunny tail and prancing to the right while carrying an Easter basket and tossing candy. Dave stops in front of Stuart and shows off his costume, but Stuart is not amused. Dave tosses some candy at Stuart's goggle, chuckles nervously and takes off the ears, and Stuart looks back at the camera.
* ''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 note as the logo fades in, revealing the five-minion choir, and Stuart, the minion in the centre, is still singing the note as the others watch (except for one who stares at the camera depressingly). Stuart finally runs out of breath and falls flat on his face, then weakly holds out a hand for the others to lift him up, but quickly puts it back down as the other minions exchange glances.
** On the theatrical trailer for ''Sing'', it onkyonly shows the minion falling.
* ''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, 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 in which a minion does not look at the camera.
* ''Minions & More 1'': For the new 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' 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 "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 Illumination text and revealing dozens of other Minions with carboard 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 Illumination 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 the 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 marshmellows 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 startes happily while Stuart looks with a straight face. The camera zooms out and reveals the Illumination text, which has a firey 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 it's 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 agressive 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 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".
**'''The Secret Life of Kyle''': Bob can be seen in a chair, trying to read a Snellen chart off-screen while Stuart stands next to him. As Bob reads the word in the chart wrong two times, Stuart puts in 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 chart says "ILLUMINATION" in the normal font as he reads the name correctly and says it happily afterward as Stuart looks in amusement.
**'''TBA''': Bob and Stuart are on the ground, with the former's ice cream having melted. Suddenly, a ball knocks out Stuart, which then cuts back to reveal The Lorax and two bears on an {{color|orange}} background, grabbing it with a net. It then cuts to Chloe on a {{color|steelblue|steel blue gradient}} background who swallows it and then spits it out, then hits a young Grinch on a {{color|green}} background, followed by Ash from ''Sing'' who hits it with her guitar on a {{color|red}} background. We then cut to Delroy the parrot, perched on a stand who gets hit by it on a {{color|maroon|darker red}} background, followed by Snowball in his super outfit who gets hit by it. We then cut to a {{color|lightgreen|light green}} background, where the ball is revealed to be the eye of Miss Crawley. She picks it up, and the camera cuts back to reveal the text as she walks away and the other characters are seen.
**'''TBA''': At early dusk with truffala trees in the background, we see The Lorax, holding a basket as he plants some seeds down. It then cuts to night where he uses a watering can, then cuts to him turning on two different lights, followed by him relaxing in the grass at daytime. The camera zooms away to reveal the text done in flowers.
**'''TBA''': We see a young Grinch, who is sad sitting on a snowy hill at night. We cut back to see the Minion trio, as it then cuts to them rolling up a large ball with colorful lightbulbs as they figure them out. Kevin then convinces Stuart who is on a snowy tree, to hold them. They all get on the trees as it fades to several shots of them getting the bulbs up. Then we cut back to the Grinch, as the minions go back to him while Kevin holds a button. The Grinch then presses it, as we see the text in a script made from the bulbs while they watch.

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.

Stuart's sounds are still the same, though.
