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 2006 pilot of Aquaman, the 2011 remake of Charlie's Angels, the AMC series Into The Badlands and the MTV series The Shannara Chronicles.

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

The open-matte version.
The widescreen version.

Logo: In an office setting at the center we see a tiny bottle filled with orange red ink in it labeled:MILLAR
GOUGH
INK

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

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

FX/SFX: The hammer smashing the ink bottle, the ink spreading. All live-action effects.

Music/Sounds: Here are the music variants in this logo:

1999: After the closing theme of the show plays, there is a splattering sound, but without the shatter sound.
2001-2002: Just a sound of the bottle breaking, which can be jarring to many people.
Early 2002: An odd 3-note piano tune with an eerie sound effect.
2002-2011: A reverberating cartoon ditty.

All music variants ended with the sound of a bottle breaking. Sometimes, louder.

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 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 on July 25th, 2006, the 2006 pilot of Aquaman also appeared on The WB, and later included as a bonus feature on the Blu-ray release of Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths.

2nd Logo (November 15, 2015-May 6, 2019)

Logo: On a black background, we see the stacked words "MILLAR GOUGH" in red. To the right of it is a red beaker on the bottle with a black waterdrop, and inside the waterdrop, we see 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.
