1st Logo (May 15, 1975?-19??)	2nd Logo (April 3, 1993-1997)	3rd Logo (1997-2013)	4th Logo (2013-)

1st Logo (May 15, 1975?-19??)

Logo: On a black background, we see the text "insiGht" connected in a narrow tubular font. A copyright stamp is seen below.

Technique: None.

Audio: The end theme of the show or film.

Availability: Seen on the short Secretariat: Big Red's Last Race.

2nd Logo (April 3, 1993-1997)

Logo: On a black background, blue neon lights draw a rectangle, then the same "insiGht" text from the previous logo outlined inside. A copyright stamp pops in below.

Technique: Cel animation.

Audio: A ten-note synth horn theme accompanied by ascending synth chimes. Sometimes, it has the closing theme of the show.

Availability: Can be seen on Ready or Not.

3rd Logo (1997-2013)

Logo: On a black background, an arc is drawn in by a glowing dot. At the end of the arc, the dot turns into a spark, and more lights draw a rectangle and the word "insiGht" like before, only the rectangle and text are drawing at the same time. There is also a mountain landscape in the logo. Throughout the logo, the perspective changes from head on to a right angle. Also, the Insight logo is now in a brown-white color instead of blue.

Variants:

A still version exists.
Sometimes, a copyright stamp can be seen below the logo.
Later on, the logo was updated for HD. The lights are brighter and better quality, the logo zooms in, the mountain landscape moves with the logo, and the word "PRODUCTIONS" is also drawn in below the rectangle, spaced out to fit the logo.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: The end theme of the show.

Availability: Can be seen on Insight's output like Project Runway Canada, Animal Kingdom: The First Adventure, Top Chef Canada as well as the Juno Awards. Also seen on older seasons and episodes of The Amazing Race Canada and Canadian Idol.

4th Logo (2013-)

Logo: On a black background, the Insight logo in a pale gold color zooms out. The logo shines from the arc to the spark, which then emits a bright golden light.

Variants:

In 2020, the text "CELEBRATING 40 YEARS" is shown underneath the logo replacing the word "PRODUCTIONS".
Starting in 2021, the byline "A BOAT ROCKER COMPANY" is seen with a line above it.

Technique: 3D animation.

Audio: The end theme of the show or none.

Availability: Unknown. ^[Examples?]
