'''Visuals:''' There is 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, the silhouette of a young boy on a bicycle with an alien in its basket (Elliott and E.T. 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 {{color|orange}}/{{color|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 "{{color|blue|AMBLIN}}" (once again, in Optima) appears in a strange fade-in (shadows form the {{color|blue}} letters one at a time, referred to as a "shadow wipe"/"refracting prism"). When the word "{{color|blue|AMBLIN}}" is finally revealed, the wheels begin to stop and smaller {{color|orange}} text appears under the bottom {{color|orange}}/{{color|blue}} lines that reads "{{color|orange|ENTERTAINMENT}}" in spaced out letters to fit the width of the bottom line. Both words are in a similar thin font.

'''Availability:'''  

* 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 almost every Amblin film from this era.

* The last film to use this logo was ''The Hundred-Foot Journey''.

* Despite being retired after the aforementioned film, this logo also appeared on ''The House with a Clock in Its Walls'', fitting with the retro theme.

* This also appears at the end of the 1986 TV movie ''Amazing Stories: The Movie II''.

'''Legacy:''' A favorite of many, especially for fans of Spielberg's films.

'''Visuals:''' 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 "{{color|blue|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 {{color|orange}} and {{color|blue}} bars and "{{color|orange|ENTERTAINMENT}}", which, along with "{{color|red|AMBLIN}}", now have texture on the logo) fades in. The finishing background is now {{color|red}}-gradient black (evening sky). If you look closely, you can see E.T.'s finger glowing.

*On ''Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous'', there is a custom variation, where it picks off where the [[Universal Pictures]]/[[DreamWorks Animation Television]] logo combo left off; we pan to the left of the DreamWorks logo-shaped continent to reveal an Amblin logo-shaped archipelago, where the camera then zooms underneath Elliot's cape to start the show.

*On ''The Fabelmans'', the logo's animation starts over the Universal Pictures logo, but it fades to its background when the logo is nearly done forming.

'''Technique:''' CGI.
