'''Nicknames:''' "The E.T. Logo", "In-Credit E.T. Logo", "The Original Moon Boy"
'''Nickname:''' "The E.T. Logo"


'''Logo:''' A still version of the Amblin logo in white, with an inverse silhouette of Elliott and E.T. flying in front of the moon (represented by an outline) and "AMBLIN" to the right in a font known as Optima; the design is identical to that of Amblin's print logo.

* Starting with ''Jurassic World'' in 2015, the silhouette of Elliott and E.T. have been updated to match the current onscreen logo, with the cape being redrawn and more accurate. It looks less like a chicken riding a bicycle.

'''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|orange|orange}}/{{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}}" (once again, in Optima) appears in a strange fade-in (shadows form the {{Font color|blue|blue}} letters one at a time, referred to as a "shadow wipe"/"refracting prism"). When the word "{{Font color|blue|AMBLIN}}" is finally revealed, the wheels begin to stop and smaller {{Font color|orange|orange}} text appears under the bottom {{Font color|orange|orange}}/{{Font color|blue|blue}} lines that reads "{{Font color|orange|ENTERTAINMENT}}" in spaced out letters to fit the width of the bottom line. Both words are in a similar thin font.

'''FX/SFX:''' The moon zooming backward, Elliot and E.T 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.

'''Nicknames:''' "The E.T. Logo III"


'''Logo:''' Same concept as before, only CG is used, and the moon and silhouette are three-dimensional. The moon swooshes down and hovers to the left of the screen, while Elliot and E.T. fly on the screen from behind, making an immediate right in front of the moon and parking to form the graphic. Also, the word "AMBLIN" no longer has the strange shadow wipe effect, and instead uses a more gradual fade-in from the left, and the rest of the logo (the {{Font color|orange|orange}} and {{Font color|blue|blue}} bars and "ENTERTAINMENT", which, along with "AMBLIN", now have texture on the logo) fades in. The finishing background is now {{Font color|red|red}}-gradient black (evening sky). If you look closely, you can see E.T.'s finger glowing.
