'''Nickname:''' "Minions"
'''Logo:''' On a dark background with a reflective floor, a large stacked text reading "{{color|silver|'''ILLUMINATION''' ENTERTAINMENT}}" appears (written in Futura Condensed). Minions appear below the text (usually Bob or Stuart) and get up to different things, which vary:

* ''Despicable Me'' and ''Despicable Me 2'' ([[ABC National IDs|ABC]] airing): On a black background, Stuart the minion peeks out from the bottom right side of the screen and looks at the camera for a brief moment before anxiously greeting the audience. Then, all of a sudden, a large stacked text, reading "{{color|silver|'''ILLUMINATION''' ENTERTAINMENT}}" appears behind him, flashing brightly. Stuart is clearly frightened by the loud music that plays as it appears, and as the music ends, the floor Stuart is standing on becomes reflective. Stuart stands stunned, and then falls over. He then crawls off the screen. ▼

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 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 and smiling. DaveHe then pranceslooks indepressingly fromat the leftDave, 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, who looks at him in a depressed manner, 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.
* ''The Lorax'': The text 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.

Minions & More 1=
* ''Puppy'': Tom is seen flying towards the left on a dark background, 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.
*''Santa's Little Helpers'': We see the 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.
Minions & More 2=
*''Mower Minions'': On a dark background, Kevin, Stuart and Bob are seen carrying some beach towels, ready to do some sunbathing. They lay down their towels, put on their sun shorts, sit on their beach towels, put on sunglasses and apply some sunblock. Bob pushes a button, which turns on a huge UV light behind the camera. The minion trio then start sunbathing. The camera cuts to the UV light which is shaped like the text.
*''Super Gidget'': The minion trio are seen sitting in a movie theater, laughing at a funny scene. The camera pans to the left, showing other Illumination characters. The Grinch stares at a weird scene, Snowball screamshides andin winceshis popcorn bucket at the sight of a scary scene and Miss Crawly tears up over a sad scene. The camera then stops panning, showing Ash and Chloe, who is watching the movie with her tongue stuck out. Ash urges Chloe to put her tongue back in, and she does. The camera then cuts to the screen, which shows the text.
*''Yellow is the New Black'': The text is seen on the floor in a dark background. Kevin, Stuart and Bob enter from the right, seeming to be shopping. Kevin takes the first four letters in armfuls, while Stuart takes the "A" and Bob takes the third "I" and they scuttle off-screen. After a brief moment, Kevin is heard yelling at Bob, who walks back in, places his "I" between "MIN" and the "T" then hurries off with the "T", the letter he was supposed to take.
*''Eddie's Life Coach'': We see a close up of Ash jamming out on her guitar before zooming out to reveal the rest of her. As she jams out, several {{color|purple}} amp meters suround her, all shaped like the letters in the text. We then zoom out to reveal the rest of them. The camera then zooms in on Ash's guitar for the last few notes before the screen cuts to black.
*''Competition'': In a {{color|blue}} metal room, a group of minions in hard hats are seen carrying a giant {{color|red}} plug, which they then place it in a giant socket. Some other minions flip a giant switch. The plug's wire leads out of the building the minions are in, through numerous transmission lines and high into the sky. The wire goes into space, and powers the text, floating over the planet, as numerous minions float around it, cheering. Jerry, the minion at the bottom left corner of the screen, suddenly notices their work is wiping out all the world's energy, and tries to warn the others. The whole planet blacks out, and the text switches off. Jerry sighs in disappointmentdissapointment.
*''Serenade'': On a hilltop at night, Kevin, Bob and Stuart carry some fireworks for a display, with Kevin carrying a few fireworks, Bob carrying a big firework and Stuart carrying a heap of fireworks. We then cut to the night sky, and see the minions' fireworks creating pictures of Bob, the Grinch, the Lorax, Snowball and finally the text, with the minions calling out each picture's name off-screen.
'''Other Variants:'''
* The still version and some trailers lack the minions. Also seen on a fewvideo games based on Illumination films.
* Starting with ''Sing'', the name is three-dimensional.
* Starting with the second trailer of ''Despicable Me 3'' and the film itself, "ENTERTAINMENT" is removed.
* From ''The Grinch'' to ''Sing 2''Sometimes, the logo cuts in and out instead of fading in and out.
'''FX/SFX:''' The minions and the text effects, which varies by film or short, are animated by Illumination themselves through their animation studio in Paris, Illumination Mac Guff (now known as Illumination Studios Paris).
*Sometimes, the opening theme plays over the logo, while the minions talk and the sound effects play.
*On the ''Norman Television'' variant (for ''Minions & More 1''), a rock tune is heard.
*On the ''Forces of Nature'' and ''Santa's Little Helpers'' variants (also for ''Minions & More 1''), a calming guitar tune is heard. The same tune is heard on the ''Wagon Ho'' and ''Binky Nelson Unpacified'' variants (for ''Minions and More 2'').
'''Availability:''' Current and common. Seen on all of the company's films.
