It may have also appeared on Channel 4 and E4 UK airings and 2003 DVD releases of season 1 of ''Smallville''. This also appeared on Blu-ray prints of ''Smallville''. It is also seen on the DVD releases of ''Smallville''. This is also seen on the short-lived series ''The Strip'' on UPN. However, this logo does not appear on films such as ''Hannah Montana: The Movie'', which has the different company's logo instead.

'''Legacy:''' While the sound of a 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), some people may find this logo funny, and the music variant is slightly less scary than the earlier variant, and it may be favored for fans of ''Smallville''.
