'''Visuals:''' On a black background, there is a gray square with four circles in red, green, blue, and gray below it. Suddenly, a white light hovers over them, making them 3-D. The circles then turn into spheres. A circle zooms in on the square, and the four spheres zoom out. The word "{{Font|Times New Roman|P · I · X · A · R}}" fades in with each sphere in between each letter. |

'''Audio:''' On original prints of ''Luxo Jr.'', and ''Beach Chair'', it used a big band style tune (which is taken from the ending of "Take a Bow 1", composed by David Lindup for Bruton Music (now APM Music)). The same stock music is from a syndication promo Studio City made called "Spin City on Ice" which you may find at the beginning [https://vimeo.com/387020580 here]. It can be listened [https://www.apmmusic.com/albums/BRU_BR_0169 here]. It was also used on three episodes of ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' ("Artist Unknown", "Suction Cup Symphony" and "ChefBob") and the ''Morph'' short "Cake" (albeit low-pitched). |

*On newer prints of ''Luxo Jr.'' starting with the DVD and Blu-ray for ''Pixar Short Films Collection Volume 1'', the standard logo is silent, likely due to the use of the 5.1 remix from the 1999 prints that accompanied ''Toy Story 2'', which replaced the logo with the 1995 logo and a notice that reads "In 1986, Pixar Animation Studios produced its first film. This is why we have a hopping lamp in our logo." However, the Disney+ prints of the movie have an intact logo. |

* November 19, 1995-June 29, 2007: On a light blue background is the text "{{Font|Times New Roman|P I X A R}}" in a spaced-out Charlemagne Bold face (the "{{Font|Times New Roman|X}}" and the "{{Font|Times New Roman|R}}" appear to overlap the floor). A desk lamp (Luxo Jr.) hops in from the right side of the screen and stops once he notices the "I" on the left side. He shakes his body and bounces on the "I" four times before squishing it. He looks around as the text "{{font|Times New Roman|ANIMATION STUDIOS}}" (set in Centaur) fades in underneath the letters "A" and "R". He then faces the camera (presumably in embarrassment or to copy the "I") before the logo fades out. |

'''Trivia:''' |

* The lamp is the titular character from Pixar's very first animated short, ''Luxo Jr.'' (1986); the sound effects are also taken from that short. "Luxo" was trademarked by Jac Jacobsen Industrier A.S., also known as Luxo ASA. Luxo Jr. is also an unlockable character in ''LEGO The Incredibles'' (known simply as "Junior" due to a copyright issue with Luxo ASA), and can be unlocked after completing a Family Build of a statue of Luxo Jr. and the Luxo ball. Both the build and the character are made with LEGO bricks, and are different than the one shown in the Pixar logo variant shown below. |

Plastered by the remastered version on current prints of the film. |

'''Technique:''' CGI by Pixar themselves, who also animated the 1995 Walt Disney Pictures logo. The orginal version of this logo was animated on an SGI Indigo2 Extreme workstation, with the lamp and letters modeled with Alias/Wavefront PowerAnimator and textured with Amazon Paint. It was rendered with PhotoRealistic Renderman on a Sun Microsystems supercomputer with a SPARC processor and recorded to 35mm negative on Management Graphics equipment, with Monaco Labs developing it to reversal. The 2008 version was animated and produced by Pixar employee Gini Cruz Santos, while the 2019 version was animated with the Presto Animation System. |

'''Audio:''' In order: the metallic sound of Luxo Jr. hopping, some whizzing sounds when Luxo Jr. shakes his body, squeaky rubber-like sounds when he jumps on the "I", and then some more squeaking sounds and a clunk as he looks around (in the closing variant, the logo ends with the click of a switch). Designed by Gary Rydstrom at [[Skywalker Sound]] and mixed by Tom Myers. |
