* ''Minions'': The preceding [[Universal Pictures]] logo has a five-minion chorus singing along with the logo's theme and one minion voice continues to hold the closing note. The Illumination logo fades in, revealing the chorus, with the minion in the center still singing as the others watch (except for the one on the very left, who stares at the camera). The minion finally runs out of breath and passes out, 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.
** This appears as the first track of the film's soundtrack, entitled "Universal Fanfare". According to the soundtrack, Jerry Goldsmith (the original composer of the fanfare) was credited.
** On the theatrical trailer for ''Sing'', it only shows the part where the minion passes out.
** 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 catches snowflakes on his tongue. This is also seen at the start of the ''Minions Holiday Special''.
* ''The Grinch'': Bob stands on the right side of the screen, waves a sparkler and says the company name. Suddenly, Snowball the rabbit from ''The Secret Life of Pets'' (voiced by Kevin Hart) drops down from the top of the screen and yells the name. He then sets off some pyrotechnics over the logo's stage, burning Bob's feet, while Snowball laughs maniacally. The pyrotechnics trigger some sprinklers, dousing the flames and covering Snowball in water, much to his dismay. Bob gives his sparkler to Snowball, making him feel better. The text then brightens up the screen to start the movie.
* ''The Secret Life of Pets 2'': A squeaky ball bounces in from the left. Six dogs on leashes run at the ball in the same direction it came, dragging a minion along. The dogs crowd at the ball and the minion smiles and chuckles with relief. The dogs soon knock the ball off-screen and stare at it for a moment before one of them barks and they chase it down, all barking. The minion screams the company name as he gets dragged off-screen.
*Sometimes, the opening theme plays over the logo, with the sound effects intact.
*On some of the ''Minions & More'' variants, a calming guitar tune is heard.
*On the Italian dub of ''Despicable Me'', the minion (now voiced by Francesco De Francesco), yells "Hey, ciao!" instead of greeting in Minionese. Pierre Coffin's original voice of the minion groaning at the second half was kept though.
'''Availability:''' Current and common. Seen on all of the company's films.
