1st Logo (October 12, 1999-November 10, 2011)

Fullscreen
Fullscreen with left & right black bars
Widescreen

Visuals: In an office setting is a bottle filled with scarlet ink. A black label covers the bottom half, containing the company name in Impact, gold, and a stacked format. "INK" has a bottom white gradient. A split-second before the logo ends, a hammer swings down and smashes the bottle, causing the ink to spread everywhere, including covering up the whole screen.

Variant: The logo exists in both a fullscreen and widescreen format.

Technique: Live-action.

Audio: It varies, but they usually end with a glass breaking sound.

October 12, 1999: After the ending theme of the show, a splattering sound is heard.
1999-2000: The ending theme of the show.
October 2001-2002: None.
2001-2002 (Smallville episodes "X-Ray" and "Hug"): Entirely silent.
February-May 2002: An odd, three-note piano tune composed by Mark Snow.
September 2002-November 10, 2011: A reverberating cartoon ditty again composed by Mark Snow.
Original airings use a generic theme and a voice over.

Availability: It debuted on The Strip and was later seen on Smallville, the 2006 TV pilot of Aquaman, and Charlie's Angels (2011).

2nd Logo (November 15, 2015-)

Visuals: Over a black background are the stacked words "MILLAR GOUGH". To the right is a red beaker with a big black water-drop in it. Inside the water-drop is "INK".

-'''Logo:''' In an office, at the forefront, we see a bottle filled with {{color|orangered|scarlet}} ink in it labeled the stacked words reading with the company name in an Impact font colored in a {{color|gold}}-white gradient. After one of the music variants are heard, a hammer (which if you look very closely, can be seen in the reflection of the bottle) swings down and breaks the bottle, causing the ink in it to spread everywhere, covering up the whole screen.

-'''FX/SFX:''' All entirely live-action.
+'''Technique:''' Live-action.
+'''Audio:''' It varies, but they usually end with a glass breaking sound.
-'''Music/Sounds:'''
-* October 12, 1999-July 7, 2000: The closing theme of the show, along with the splattering sound.
+* October 12, 1999: After the ending theme of the show, a splattering sound is heard.
+* 1999-2000: The ending theme of the show.
-* October 16, 2001-February 12, 2002: Just the sound of a bottle breaking.
+* October 2001-2002: None.
-* 2001?-February 26, 2002-May 21, 2002: An odd, 3-note Korg M1 internal patch "Piano8" tune, accompanied by an eerie noise.
+* 2001-2002 (''Smallville'' episodes "X-Ray" and "Hug"): Entirely silent.
-* September 24, 2002-November 10, 2011: An 13-note Roland D-50 internal patch "Cathedral Organ" tune, followed by a last note.
+* February-May 2002: An odd, three-note piano tune composed by Mark Snow.
+* September 2002-November 10, 2011: A reverberating cartoon ditty again composed by Mark Snow.
-'''Music/Sounds Variants:'''
-* There is a silent variant of the logo where the bottle breaking sound is absent. This can be seen on episodes "X-Ray" and "Hug" of season 1 of ''Smallville''.
-* On early episodes of the 2nd season of ''Smallville'', the pleasant ditty is somewhat slightly quieter.
 * Original airings use a generic theme and a voice over.
-* On the ''Smallville'' season 5 episode "Arrival", the bottle breaking sound is in sync with the last note of the music.
-'''Availability:''' Common. First seen on the short-lived series ''The Strip'', and later seen on ''Smallville'' and the 2011 remake of ''Charlie's Angels'' on ABC. It also made an appearance on the 2006 television pilot of ''Aquaman'', which was initially released on iTunes and later included as a bonus feature on the Blu-ray release of ''Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths''.
+'''Availability:''' It debuted on ''The Strip'' and was later seen on ''Smallville'', the 2006 TV pilot of ''Aquaman'', and ''Charlie's Angels'' (2011).
-'''Legacy:''' While the sound of the bottle breaking can be startling for some people (especially the variant without music where it breaks with no warning, which could be jarring to many people), and however, it is slightly less scary in the music variant, some people may find this logo funny, and it may be favored for fans of ''Smallville''.
