Logo: On a starry background, a spinning film reel fades in. The filmstrip then comes out of the film reel and slowly writes the script "Ingear", which shines. Once the filmstrip stops writing the text, and a star flashes at the end of it. "Ingear" keeps on shining, while the English and Chinese names in pink fade in below and also shine.

Variant: There exists a dark variant and a bright variant.

FX/SFX: The film reel appearing, the filmstrip coming out and writing, the word shining, the names fading in.

Music/Sounds: A slow ascending synth theme, with a high-pitched sound while the last note plays, followed by a random, sci-fi synth.

Availability: Appeared on In-Gear's earlier films, most of them where horror comedy type ones.

Editor's Note: The darkness and ominous synth will bother people, mostly those expecting the next logo.

2nd Logo (1989?-1994)

Ingear Film Production (Early 1990's) Nicknames: "In-Gear Reel II", "In-Gear Filmstrip Script II", "Improved In-Gear Filmreel"

Logo: On a similar starry background, several bright lights in group fade in, zoom out, and flash, bringing up a neon film reel that's different from the one from before. The film reel moves to the left with a trail and flashes, filling it up with a metallic material. The golden filmstrip comes out of the real, making the "Ingear" from before. The English name zooms out with blue lights in front, and the lights move to the text, making it flash. The Chinese characters appear below the name letter-by-letter, and also flash.

FX/SFX: Everything looks like an improvement of the previous logo.

Music/Sounds: A bombastic synth fanfare with drums.

Availability: Seen on In-Gear's later films.

Editor's Note: The flashes and synth music are pretty startling, but this is a favorite among Hong Kong logo fans.
