*On 4:3 full screen prints of later films from 2005 until 2014, starting with ''The Legend of Zorro,'' the logo zooms out to a much farther distance than usual. Because the latters are shot and released in 2.35:1 (anamorphic Panavision) and framed for 2.39:1 scope.

'''FX/SFX:''' The moon zooming backward, the boy on the bicycle appearing and its wheels moving, the red/blue stripes coming from both sides, AMBLIN shadow-wiping in. It's all traditional animation.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A light orchestral theme composed by John Williams was used with this logo on ''Young Sherlock Holmes'', ''The Color Purple'', ''The Money Pit'', and the 1987 theatrical reissue (as well as the 1988 VHS and the 2012/2017 Blu-Ray/DVD releases) of ''E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial''. However, it is usually silent, or has the film's closing score.

'''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, and "West Side Story", the still version of logo. This surprisingly appears at the end of the TV movie ''Amazing Stories: The Movie II''.

'''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.

'''Availability:''' Debuted after the Universal logo on ''Jurassic World'' and has appeared on all Amblin films since (save for ''The House with a Clock in Its Walls'' and ''West Side Story'' (2021), both which used the previous logo). The version with the theme debuted on ''The BFG''.

'''Editor's Note:''' An excellent upgrade to the previous logo, E.T.'s finger glow is especially a nice touch.
