* ''Despicable Me'' and ''Despicable Me 2'' ([[ABC National IDs|ABC]] airing): Stuart the 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. Stuart 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.

**On the first two trailers for ''Hop'', there's a short version of this 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. Dave prances in from the left, wearing bunny ears and a cotton bunny tail, while carrying an Easter basket and tossing candy. Dave stops in front of Stuart 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.
* ''Hop'': A minion stands in the centre, staring at the camera. Another minion prances in from the left, wearing bunny ears and a cotton bunny tail, while carrying an Easter basket and tossing candy. He stops in front of the other minion and shows off his costume, but he is not amused. The latter tosses some candy at the former's goggle, chuckles nervously and takes off the ears, and the former 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. However, the chainsaw shakes the tree, causing Lou the Barbaloot from the movie to fall out, and crush Stuart. Tom slowly backs away nervously from Lou, who is eating some truffula fruits.

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. Minions Stuart and Tom stand at the bottom right corner of the logo. Stuart sings "TA-DAAA!", then Tom shoves him aside and also sings "TA-DAAA!". Stuart then shoves Tom and sings "TA-DAAA!" once again, and then the two minions then start yelling "TA-DAAA!" at each other and start pushing and shoving until Stuart shoves Tom off-screen, and triumphantly yells "TA-DAAA!". Tom then chimes "TA-DAA!" off-screen, causing Stuart to mumble in frustration while glancing out at the audience.
* ''Despicable Me 2'' (most prints): Again, a different design for the text. Two minions stand at the bottom right corner of the logo. The former poses and shouts "TA-DAAA!", then the latter 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.


* ''Minions'': The preceding [[Universal Pictures]] logo has a five-minion chorus singing along with the logo theme, and one minion voice continues to sing the closing note as the logo fades in, revealing the five-minion choir, and Stuart, the minion in the centre, is still singing the note as the others watch(except for one who stares at the camera depressingly). Stuart finally runs out of breath and falls flat on his face, 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.

** It's worth noting that this was a part of the first track of that film's soundtrack, entitled "Universal Fanfare".

* ''The Secret Life of Pets'' (prototype): Stuart is seen teasing a puppy by squeaking and pretending to throw a ball. He continues until a group of dogs come in from the right, and one of them barks at Stuart. Stuart then realizes he is being mean to the puppy and throws the ball, chuckling nervously, and the puppy goes after it, but the dogs instead start chasing him offscreen. Then, a chihuahua runs after the group of dogs, barking until it goes offscreen. This variant did not make it into the final movie for unknown reasons. This is also the first and so far only variant in which a minion does not look at the camera.

* ''The Secret Life of Pets'' (final version) and ''Despicable Me 2'' ([[NBC National IDs|NBC]] airing): The text is nowhere to be seen. Bob from ''Minions'' walks in from the right, scatting a tune. Just then, the text "MIN" and "ION" (perhaps not coincidentally, the word "Minion") turns on like a large neon sign and flashes briefly, while the light above the "I" in "MIN" glows. The rest of the text turns on the same way. Bob looks at the text and is amazed. He then turns to the audience and shouts the company name twice before squeeing excitedly.

* ''The Grinch'' (the film itself): 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 Stuart along. The dogs crowd at the ball and Stuart 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. Stuart screams the company name as he gets dragged off-screen.

* ''Sing 2'': The animation is completely different compared to the other ones, and so is the text design. A light clunks on, and we see Bob leading Stuart, Kevin, Otto, Mel and countless other minions in a song involving the company name. The minions clap along as they sing. The camera slowly zooms out until we see the text above. As the minions finish their song with one big note, Otto can be seen doing a bunny-ears bomb on Stuart, which briefly makes Mel chuckle. The text turns off, and "MIN" and "ION" (a mirrored reference to the previous film's variant) are visible for a split-second before the screen turns black.

* ''Minions: The Rise of Gru'': The text is smaller and closer to the floor than usual. Stuart 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 Stuart loses control and falls off. When he gets back up, he notices the remaining letters spell "Minion". He turns to the camera excitedly and 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 Stuart between them, thus forming "MINION". Stuart then finishes "Minion...", muffled.

** On the second trailer, the lights are removed, and is cut short to the letters being knocked out.

* ''Puppy'': Tom 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. 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.

* ''The Dog Days of Winter'': The minion trio can be seen in front of a small gingerbread house with the text being seen on top of it while they stand in front of a blizzard wearing {{color|red}} and white scarves and shivering. The camera slightly shakes as the area around them rumbles, slightly startling Bob. It happens again, only stronger, which causes Bob to almost be swept away by the snow as Kevin pulls him back. They stand there for a bit as the area shakes once more, this time causing all of them to float and spin around the house. The camera then zooms back to reveal that the area and the minions are actually part of a snowglobe being shaken by the young Grinch from his self-titled movie.

* ''Norman Television'': This is the first ever variant without any minions. On a {{color|grey}} background (albeit with the letters on the ground instead of floating in the air like the normal logo), Chloe the Cat from ''The Secret Life of Pets'' comes in from the right and sees a {{color|green}} feather next to one of the letters as its edge causes the feather to be stuck. She then tries to take it off nicely, before cutting to a montage of her trying to take it off in several aggressive manners before she pushes the letter forward until it eventually topples, freeing the feather. Chloe looks at her accident in shock. The camera then zooms out and reveals another letter on the right with a {{color|darkviolet|purple}} feather stuck on it, which Chloe then spots and decides to leave the green one to try and take off. The camera zooms out again, revealing the letters to be the "I" and "N", with the "I", being made of glass-like material, being broken due to the fall.

*''Training Wheels'': Carl can be seen sitting on a bicycle in a dark room. He then sighs and cracks his fingers before starting to pedal the bike, which powers up some sort of electric machine that powers a huge lightbulb off-screen. We then cut to a wide shot of it, revealing several other minions standing around the bulb which has the text in it's filament. As it lights up, the minions gasp in admiration as one of them says the company name in that manner.

*''Love at First Sight'': On a {{color|lightgreen|light green}} background, Miss Crawly from ''Sing'' can be seen pushing various letters that form the text in an somewhat exasperated, but mostly tired manner, starting with the "N", as the camera angles change between every shot. After she pushes the "I" towards it's "place", her work is finally finished, and she slowly walks across the text, which, in a far shot, she misspelled as "LILI MOUNTAIN".

*''The Secret Life of Kyle'': Bob can be seen in the middle of an eye test, trying to read an off-screen snellen chart while Carl teaches him. As Bob reads the word in the chart wrong two times, Carl gives him a pair of {{color|pink}} glasses with magnifying lens on them, making Bob's eyes seem bigger. The camera then cuts to an angle revealing the text on the chart as Bob reads it out correctly and happily repeats the company name afterward as Carl happily looks on.

*''Weenie'': Bob and Stuart are on the ground, with the former's ice cream having melted. Suddenly, a ball knocks out Stuart, which then cuts back to reveal the titular character from ''The Lorax'' and two Barbaloots on an {{color|orange}} background, grabbing it with a net. It then cuts to Chloe on a {{color|steelblue|steel blue gradient}} background who swallows it and then spits it out, then hits a young Grinch on a {{color|green}} background, followed by Ash from ''Sing'' who hits it with her guitar on a {{color|red}} background. We then cut to Delroy the parrot (a new character voiced by Keegan-Michael Key), perched on a stand who gets hit by it on a {{color|maroon|darker red}} background, followed by Snowball in his superhero costume who gets hit by it. We then cut to a {{color|lightgreen|light green}} background, where the ball is revealed to be the eye of Miss Crawley. She picks it up, and the camera cuts back to reveal the text as she walks away and the other characters are seen.

*''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|darkviolet|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 carry a giant {{color|red}} plug, which they then place in a giant socket. Some other minions flip a giant switch from "{{color|red|OFF}}" to "{{color|green|ON}}". 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 so does the text, causing Jerry to sigh in disappointment.

*''Serenade'': On a hilltop at night, the minion trio 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, while the minions are heard gasping, cheering and calling out each picture's name.
