'''Logo:''' On a black background, we see a {{color|gray}} square with four circles in {{color|red}}, {{color|green}}, {{color|blue}}, and white respectively below. Suddenly, a white light hovers over them, making them 3-D. The circles then turn into spheres. A circle zooms in on the square and the four spheres zoom out. The word "{{Font|Times New Roman|P · I · X · A · R}}" in the Trajan Pro font fades in with each sphere and the end of the letter.

* At the beginning of another demo reel from 1990, Tinny from ''Tin Toy'' can be seen on the right side of the screen with the Pixar logo at the top left and a 1990 copyright stamp on the bottom left. At the end, it just shows the normal Pixar logo without the symbol but with a different address and phone number.

'''Logo:''' On a {{color|lightblue|light blue}} background, we see the text "{{Font|Times New Roman|PIXAR}}" in a spaced-out Charlemagne Bold face (the "{{Font|Times New Roman|X}}" and the "{{Font|Times New Roman|R}}" appear to overlap the floor). Then, Luxo Jr. hops by. He stops once he notices the "I" on the left side. He shakes his body and bounces on the "I" four times before squishing it. He looks around as the text "ANIMATION STUDIOS" fades in underneath the letters "A" and "R". He then faces the camera. Afterwards, it either fades out, or the light slowly dims until it's completely dark, leaving just the light from Luxo Jr, which then switches off one second later.

* 2008-2011: An illuminated desk lamp hops past the word Pixar. It squashes the letter I. A subtitle appears: Animation Studios.

* 2012-2018: An illuminated desk lamp squashes the letter I in Pixar. Pixar Animation Studios.

* 2019-present: A logo reads "Pixar Animation Studios". Luxo Jr. hops in. The little desk lamp jumps on the letter I, squashing it down, then looks around.

* At the start of ''Incredibles 2'' (albeit using a custom variant), the fanfare from the custom [[Walt Disney Pictures|Disney]] logo carries onto the custom variant of the Pixar logo and the sound effects are different.

* Seen on all Pixar movies and shorts from 1995 onward, with the exception of the 3-D prints of most newer movies, which use the next logo below.  

* It first appeared at the very end of ''Toy Story'' (and appears at the beginning of said film on most current prints, following the 2006 Walt Disney Pictures logo, and plastering the Pixar variant of the WDP logo) and has appeared at the beginning and end of all Pixar features starting with ''A Bug's Life''.  

* Also appears on video games based on Pixar films, sometimes albeit using a variant. It also had a variant of the logo in ''Lego The Incedibles'', and was rendered in-game, carring over from the Disney logo, as an Omnidroid, made in Lego bricks, which was was turned into a ball as Luxo Jr., also made in Lego bricks, a la the Lego version of the second trailer for ''Cars 2'', was bouncing onto it and destroys it. After Luxo Jr. looks at the camera, it zooms out to reveal the rest of the Pixar letters, which are all made in Lego bricks, as the "R" in "PIXAR" is being built before being covered up.

* The original version was last used on ''Ratatouille''; it later made reappearances on the teaser for ''Cars 2'' in 2010 and a TV spot for the 3D re-release of ''Finding Nemo'' in 2012.

* The remastered logo debuted on ''WALL-E'', and it was last used at the end of ''Incredibles 2'', due to having a custom variant at the beginning.

* The reanimated variant first appeared on the second trailer for ''Toy Story 4'', and made its official debut on the movie itself, even appearing on the 3-D version instead of the next logo, and then every film following it, most recently ''Lightyear''.

* The white background variant is fairly rare and was only seen on ''Buzz Lightyear of Star Command''.  

* It plasters the previous logo on newer prints of ''Luxo Jr.'' (Disney+ prints of the movie have the original logo intact) and ''Knick Knack''.

* On current prints of the first two ''Toy Story'' films, ''Monsters, Inc.'', ''Finding Nemo'', and ''Cars'', the original logo is replaced by the remastered one, though the original version is still intact on current prints of ''A Bug's Life'', ''The Incredibles'', and ''Ratatouille''.

'''Logo:''' We start on a black screen. Then, the camera pans away from the "P" in "PIXAR", and we zoom out as the animation plays. "{{Font|Times New Roman|ANIMATION STUDIOS}}" also zooms in underneath.

* On current prints of ''Monsters, Inc.'', the logo is shortened.

* Just like its 2D counterpart, the logo has also been re-animated and re-rendered with Pixar's current software. So far, seen on ''Onward'' and ''Lightyear''.

* A sped up version (with a fade out effect at the end) of the closing variant is seen when you go to Pixar's brand page on the [[Disney+ Originals|Disney+]] website on browser. Furthermore, the finalized logo was shifted upwards to fit the page's style.

* On the 2020 Disney Investor Day, transitioning  from the [[Walt Disney Animation Studios]] panel via the static Pixar logo with clouds from Andy's room moving upwards, the logo is high toned and the "ANIMATION STUDIOS" text is not shown. After it's formed, the chief creative officer of Pixar, Pete Docter, walks in, as the logo is a background, as it fades to pictures of Pixar's history, then the logo was zoomed in, cutting from the posters of Pixar's past films and shorts, then cuts back to the logo then showing some of the new members of the Pixar staff, covering the logo, then disappear to show the logo once again. Following that, it fades out as he announces the 1st film in this panel, ''Soul''. After transitioning from the Disney+ and Pixar logos (with the static Pixar logo), showing the Pixar logo once again, it transitions to the announcement of the 2nd film in this panel, ''Luca''. Afte that, it fades in, showing the Pixar logo once again, it zooms out and transitions to a red gradient background, as he announces the 3rd film in this panel, ''Turning Red'', then it transitions back to the Pixar logo. After that, it cuts into the the logo for the 4th and final film in this panel, ''Lightyear''. At the end of the Pixar panel, transitioning from the logo for ''Lightyear'', it transitions back to the Pixar logo. After that, Luxo Jr.'s bulb is dimmed as he runs away, making the logo and its background dark as it's moving to the right, fading to black, and transitions over to the [[Marvel Studios]] panel.

* Seen on most Pixar 3-D releases starting with ''Up''.  

* Also seen when the first two ''Toy Story'' films, ''Finding Nemo'', and ''Monsters, Inc.'' were re-released in Disney Digital 3-D, as well as the 3D Blu-Ray of ''Cars''.  

* This and the 2011 [[Walt Disney Pictures|Disney]] logo plaster the previous logo on 3-D prints of ''For the Birds''.  

* It also appears on both 3-D and even 2-D prints of newer shorts, except for ''22 Vs. Earth'' and ''Ciao Alberto'', which use the previous logo instead.

* The final movie to use the original version was ''Incredibles 2''.

* The reanimated variant debuted on the 3D version of ''Onward'' as well as the 2020 Disney Investor Day, and on ''Lightyear''.

* Don't expect this to appear on the 3D version of ''Toy Story 4'', as it uses the previous logo instead of this for some reason. It also did not appear on ''Soul'', ''Luca'', and ''Turning Red'', all of which had to cancel their theatrical runs because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
