'''Logo:''' We see a close-up of the moon, which zooms backward until it is on the left side of the screen. Right before the moon stops in its place, a silhouette of a young boy on a bicycle (Elliott from ''E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial'') slowly flies in front of the moon from the left side of the moon's border, stopping in the middle (even when the bicycle stops, the wheels continue to move). At the same time, two {{Font color|red|red}}/{{Font color|blue|blue}} stripes move in from both sides of the screen. The stripe that comes in from the bottom left side places itself right underneath the moon, while the stripe that comes in from the top right side places itself near the top of the moon (this creates a small space to the right of the moon bordered by the stripes on the top and the bottom). When the moon and stripes are in place, the word "{{Font color|blue|AMBLIN}}" appears in a strange fade-in (shadows form the {{Font color|blue|blue}} letters one at a time, referred to as a "shadow wipe"). When the word "{{Font color|blue|AMBLIN}}" is finally revealed, the wheels begin to stop and smaller {{Font color|red|red}} text appears under the bottom {{Font color|red|red}}/{{Font color|blue|blue}} lines that reads "{{Font color|red|ENTERTAINMENT}}" in spaced out letters to fit the width of the bottom line. Both words are in a similar thin font | '''Logo:''' We see a close-up of the moon, which zooms backward until it is on the left side of the screen.

'''Availability:''' Common. The flipped moon variant debuted at the end of ''The Goonies'' while the normal variant debuted at the end of ''Back to the Future'', and can be found on every Amblin film from this era (except ''Schindler's List'', ''The Bridges of Madison County'', ''Minority Report'', ''Flags of Our Fathers'', and ''Letters from Iwo Jima'', as well as the three Amblimation productions, which featured that company's special logo, and the aforementioned with the 1st/print logo on the credits). Most prints of ''E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial'' don't show this logo despite showing the logo on the packaging, except on the 1988 home video release and ABC Family/Freeform's print of the film. The last film to use this logo was ''The Hundred-Foot Journey''. This logo makes a reappearance on ''The House with a Clock in Its Walls'', fitting with the retro theme. | '''Availability:''' Common.

'''Editor's Note:''' A favorite of many, especially for fans of Steven Spielberg's films. Although the way Elliot's cape is positioned makes him look sort of like a chicken riding a bicycle. | '''Editor's Note:''' A favorite of many, especially for fans of Steven Spielberg's films.
