1st Logo (October 12, 1999-November 10, 2011)	2nd Logo (November 15, 2015-)

Background

Millar Gough Ink is a production company founded in 1997 by Miles Millar and Alfred Gough. They are known for having produced the Superman prequel television series Smallville, the 2011 remake of Charlie's Angels, and the AMC series Into The Badlands.

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

Nicknames: "Orange-Red Ink", "Ink Bottle Gets the Hammer"

Logo: In an office setting, at the forefront, we see a bottle filled with orange red ink in it labeled:

MILLAR
GOUGH
INK

in an Impact font colored yellow, with the bottom half of "INK" in white/silver. After one of the music variants is heard, a hammer (which, if you look very closely can be seen in the reflection on the bottle) swings down and breaks the bottle, causing the ink to fly everywhere and cover up the whole screen.

Variant: On the short-lived show The Strip and some 4:3 prints of Smallville, there is an open-matte version of the logo.

FX/SFX: The hammer hammering the lid, smashing the ink bottle, the ink splashing. All live-action.

Music/Sounds: Here are the main music variants:

1999: After the closing theme of the show plays, there is a splattering sound.
2001-2002: Just a sound of the bottle breaking.
Early 2002: An odd 3-note piano tune with an eerie sound effect.
2002-2011: A reverberating cartoon ditty.

Music/Sounds Variants:

On the Smallville season 1 episodes "X-Ray" and "Hug", the bottle breaking sound is absent.
On early season 2 episodes of Smallville, the reverberating cartoon ditty is somewhat slightly quieter before the bottle breaking sound appears.

Availability: Common. First seen on the short-lived show The Strip, and later seen on Smallville and the 2011 version of Charlie's Angels. It also made an appearance on the 2006 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.

2nd Logo (November 15, 2015-)

Logo: On a black background, we see the stacked words "MILLAR GOUGH" in red. To the right of it is a red beaker with a big black water drop in it, and inside the drop is the text "INK", also in red.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None, or the ending theme of the show.

Availability: Seen on the 2015 AMC series Into the Badlands and the 2016 MTV series The Shannara Chronicles. This logo is expected to appear on the upcoming Netflix Addams Family spin-off series Wednesday.

-* 2001-2002: Just a sound of the bottle breaking. The bottle suddenly breaking by a hammer with no warning can be jarring to many people, especially after the long silence during both this logo and the one before such as the ''Tollin/Robbins Productions'' logo.

It also made an appearance on the 2006 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''.
-All music versions ended with the bottle breaking sound, sometimes louder.
-'''Availability:''' Intact. First seen on the short-lived show ''The Strip''. Also seen on ''Smallville'', the 2006 pilot of ''Aquaman (also named Mercy Reef)'' and the 2011 version of ''Charlie's Angels''. Look for the rare print logo on the back of the ''Smallville'' DVD/Blu-ray cover. The 4:3 version was also seen, but the 2006 pilot of ''Aquaman'' was included as a bonus on the Blu-ray release of ''Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths''. This can also be seen on ''Smallville'' on The C&W. This can also be seen on the 2011 version of ''Charlie's Angels'' on the CTV Throwback. This may also be seen on the 2003 DVD releases, Channel 4, The WB, or E4 airings of season 1 of ''Smallville''. This can also be seen on The WB airings of sometimes season 2 of ''Smallville'', which uses the 4:3 cropped version of this logo.
-'''Legacy:''' While the sound of the bottle breaking can be startling for some people (especially the version without music where an hammer breaks a bottle with no warning, which could be probably jarring to many people), some people may find this logo pretty funny, and it may be favored for fans of ''Smallville''. For the sound of the bottle breaking, the bottle breaking with no warning can be jarring to many people. For the music version, it may slightly be less scary with the music playing. For another music version, the piano tune can be creepy. For the yet another music version, there is the closing theme before the splattering sound.
