* ''The Lorax'': The text looks different. Below, a minion attempts to cut down a truffula tree with a chainsaw, while another observes. However, the chainsaw shakes the tree, causing Lou the Barbaloot from the movie to fall out, and crush the former. The latter slowly backs away nervously from Lou, who is eating some truffula fruits.
* ''Despicable Me 2'' (most prints): Again, a different design for the text. Two minions stand in the bottom-right corner of the logo. TheOne formerof them poses and shouts "TA-DAAA!", then the latterother shoves him aside and also shouts "TA-DAAA!" in a different pose. The former then shoves the latter and shouts "TA-DAAA!" once again, and then the two minions then start yelling "TA-DAAA!" at each other and start pushing and shoving until the former shoves the latter off-screen, and triumphantly yells "TA-DAAA!". The latter then chimes "TA-DAA!" off-screen, causing the former to mumble in frustration.
** On some trailers for Illumination films, it shows the part where the two minions fight.
** The text appears above at first. A minion is seen in the distance, blowing a party blower to another minion who is close to the camera and annoyed by the blower. The latter then grabs the end of the blower, pulls the former towards him and shoves him off-screen. The latter moves out, the text drops down to the center and Bob is heard saying the company name.
** A spotlight turns on, revealing Bob, who gets joined by Stuart and Kevin. The camera zooms out as the minions notice some small eyes outside the spotlight, which frightens them. Another spotlight turns on, revealing the eyes to belong to Max, Gidget, Duke and Snowball from ''The Secret Life of Pets''. Behind them, they notice a sparkling yellow twist, and yet another spotlight turns on, revealing Gunter from ''Sing''. Suddenly, the spotlights turn off, and the camera pans to the Grinch from his self-titled movie, having pulled the plug to the spotlights. He connects it to another cable, turning on a giant neon sign shaped like his movie's logo off-screen. The camera zooms out to reveal it. Bob walks in from the left, and the sign turns into the text. The ''Toho Cinemas'' emblem drops in and bonks the Grinch on the head. As Bob says the company name, the emblem picks him up, and carries him off-screen, transitioning to the ''Toho Cinemas'' logo.
** 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 entire version of this variant is yet to be seen.
* ''The Grinch'': Bob stands on the right side of the screen, waves a sparkler and says the company name. Suddenly, Snowball 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.
* ''Minions: The Rise of Gru'': The text is smaller and closer to the floor than usual. A minion swings by on a disco ball, calling out the company name as {{color|darkviolet|purple}} and {{color|blue}} lights appear around the background. As the ball swings around, it knocks out some of the letters and the minion loses control and falls off. When he gets back up, he notices the remaining letters spell "MINION". He turns to the camera excitedly and tries to say "Minion!" stuttering. Before he can finish, the disco ball swings back into the frame and hits "ION", pushing it into "MIN" and crushing the minion between them, thus forming "MINION". As that happens, a bright {{color|#58c1ae|cyan}} light shines on the transformed text. The minion then finishes "Minion...", muffled.
** On the second trailer, the lights are removed, and is cut short to the letters being knocked out.
** On the last two trailers for ''Migration'', it is shortened to the minion swinging in. For ScreenX versions, when the lights appear on-screen, the left and right walls display the color of the lights, and the dotsdisco ball's reflections.
** On a toolkit for the film, various black stripes move in on a {{color|yellow}} background, stopping when they form a line, and showing Kevin, Bob, Otto and Stuart, all in 2D. Otto shouts out the company name as the screen zooms out and see they are in a queue of minions on a black line above the text, in black, with the queue of minions as long as the text. The minions then stamp down the bottom of the line, which segues into the rest of the toolkit.
* ''The Super Mario Bros. Movie'': The text is darkened and seen above a minion inside a rocket-powered go-kart (similar to those in the film and the ''Mario Kart'' series, and the go-kart itself appears to be themed after Gru's jet bike from ''Minions: The Rise of Gru''). He is behind a starting line, and starts to rev his engine. As the countdown sound from ''Mario Kart 8'' plays, segments of the text light up {{color|red}} like race starting lights, with each quarter of letters lighting up with each chime, then all light up {{color|green}}. The minion attempts to start the go-kart, only for it to stall out. As that happens, the text turns white. The minion hits the go-kart in frustration, causing it to suddenly blast off-screen. The minion yells out the company name as he zooms away.
* ''Migration'': The preceding [[Universal Pictures]] logo has the fanfare done with a slightly off-key kazoo melody, which skips the first two notes of the nine-note score, and a ukulele rhythm, based on the 1997 version. When it fades out, it then fades to the minion trio sitting on a rock in the middle of a lake at night, with Stuart playing the ukulele, and Bob playing the kazoo, while Kevin does some fishing, visibly irritated by the music. The screen zooms out to reveal the text above. When the fanfare is finished, Bob pants, and says the company name in a tired manner. The minions are then startled by Mack's opening lines (voiced by Kumail Nanjiani), but then sigh in relief upon hearing the words "bedtime story". The text slightly dims, and screen then turns like a page, transitioning to the film's opening shot.
** On TV spots for the film, a minion is shown running to the left, being chased by Mack, while another version has the chase reversed.
* '''Other Variants:'''
* The still version and some trailers lack the minions. Also seen on the game ''Despicable Me: Minion Rush''.
* Starting inwith 2016''Sing'', the logo is three-dimensional, and appears to be neon-lit rather than naturally glowing.
* Starting with the second trailer of ''Despicable Me 3'', "ENTERTAINMENT" is removed.
* From ''The Grinch'' to ''Sing 2'', the logo cuts in and out.
** In variants from the ''Sing'' franchise, they sing the name in unison.
** On ''Minions & More'', they only say the name at the end of a few variants.
* On ''Minions & More'', sounds from the non-minionother characters differ. Sometimes, they use laughs, grunts and screams, other times they are completely silent. Unlike the others though, Miss Crawly uses full English sentences.
