'''Visuals:''' On a dark background with a reflective floor is large stacked text reading "ILLUMINATION ENTERTAINMENT" or simply "ILLUMINATION" (written in Futura Condensed). Minions appear below the text and perform a comedic skit, which varies between movies/trailers/shorts:
<tabber>
Main variants=
* ''Despicable Me'' and ''Despicable Me 2'' ([[ABC |ABC]] airing): A minion peeks out from the right side of the screen, anxiously greeting the audience. Then, all of a sudden, the text appears behind him, flashing brightly. The minion 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.
* ''Despicable Me 4'': Bob is seen sitting next to a wall full of holes, with a box of colorful LED pegs, sticking them in one by one. Just then he is joined by Stuart, wielding a gun loaded with the pegs. He then starts shooting the pegs at the wall at rapid speed, yelling, and the screen zooms out to show the pegs spelling out the text. Kevin enters from the left, and flips a switch on the wall, causing the text to light up, which impresses the trio. Stuart then looks around, mischievously, and then starts to pelt Bob with the pegs, chasing him to the right off-screen. Kevin chuckles at Stuart's antics, only for Stuart to chase ''him'' off-screen with the gun, yelling the company name.
**This gag continues in the film's closing credits, starting off with Stuart continuing to pelt Kevin with the pegs, then turning to the other side of the screen and firing at something off-screen, before running off in fear. Mega Jerry then enters with a mouthful of pegs, which he then swallows, causing his body to light up. At the very end of the credits scroll, Mega Gus is seen taking a nap, when Stuart comes by, still wielding the gun, which he uses to wake him up.

* '''Minions & More=:'''
* ''Puppy'': A minion is seen flying towards the left, using cardboard box flaps as wings. He then stops in front of a large bright white light on the left. The minion 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 the former, who painfully groans the company name.
