* November 22, 1995-June 29, 2007: On a {{color|lightblue|light blue}} background is the text "{{Font|Times New Roman|P I X A R}}" 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 a desk lamp (Luxo Jr.) hops in from the right. 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 "{{font|Times New Roman|ANIMATION STUDIOS}}" (set in Centaur) fades in underneath the letters "A" and "R". He then faces the camera (presumably in embarrassment or to copy the I) before the logo fades out.

* June 27, 2008-June 15, 2018: Same as before, but the logo has been remastered in HD.

* June 21, 2019-: Same as before, but the logo has been re-animated and re-rendered with Pixar's current software, with some major color correction and the lamp being remodeled with a new base and an LED bulb.

* The lamp is the titular character from Pixar's very first animated short, ''Luxo Jr.'' (1986); the sound effects are also taken from that short. "Luxo" was trademarked by Jac Jacobsen Industrier A.S., also known as Luxo ASA. Luxo Jr. is also an unlockable character in ''LEGO The Incredibles'' (known simply as "Junior" due to a copyright issue with Luxo ASA), and can be unlocked after completing a Family Build of a statue of Luxo Jr. and the Luxo ball. Both the build and the character are made with LEGO bricks, and are different than the one shown in the Pixar logo variant shown below.

* This logo was designed by Pixar veteran Pete Docter, who directed the studio's films ''Monsters, Inc.'', ''Up'', ''Inside Out'', and ''Soul''.

'''Technique:''' CGI by Pixar themselves, who also animated the 1995 Walt Disney Pictures logo. This logo was animated on an SGI Indigo2 Extreme workstation, with the lamp and letters modeled with Alias/Wavefront PowerAnimator and textured with Amazon Paint. It was rendered with PhotoRealistic Renderman on a Sun Microsystems supercomputer with a SPARC processor and recorded to 35mm negative on Management Graphics equipment, with Monaco Labs developing it to reversal. The 2008 version was animated and produced by Pixar employee Gini Cruz Santos, while the 2019 version was animated with the Presto Animation System.

'''Audio:''' In order: the metallic sound of Luxo Jr. hopping, some whizzing sounds when Luxo Jr. shakes his body, squeaky rubber-like sounds when he jumps on the "I", and then some more squeaking sounds and a clunk as he looks around (in the closing variant, the logo ends with the click of a switch). Designed by Gary Rydstrom at [[Skywalker Sound]] and mixed by Tom Myers.
