Background

Millar Gough Ink is a production company founded in 1997 by Miles Millar and Alfred Gough.

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


Logo: In an office, we see a bottle with orange red ink inside of it labeled the stacked words reading with the company name in an Impact font colored in a gold-white gradient. After one of the music variants are played, a hammer (which, if you look very, very closely, you can see a hammer falling down, as seen in the reflection on the bottle) falls down on top and breaks the bottle, causing the ink in it to spread everywhere, covering up the whole screen.

Variant: There exists an open-matte version of the logo. There is also a letterbox version of the logo. This can be seen on 4:3 prints of all episodes of Smallville and the short-lived series The Strip.

FX/SFX: Entirely live-action.

Music/Sounds:

  • 1999: The closing theme of the show before the ink spreading sound.
  • 2001-2002: Just a sound of the glass shattering.
  • Early 2002: An odd, 3-note piano tune, accompanied by an eerie noise.
  • 2002-2011: A 13-note synth-organ ditty, accompanied by an 7-note instrumental tune, followed by a last note.

All music variants ended with the sound of the glass shattering, except for the 1999 variant, which has the ink spreading sound instead.

Music/Sounds Variants:

  • On the episodes "X-Ray" and "Hug" of the 1st season of Smallville, the glass shattering sound is absent.
  • On the early episodes of the 2nd season of Smallville, the synth-organ ditty is somewhat a little quieter before the glass shattering sound appears.
  • Most of the original airings use a generic theme and a voice over.

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.

2nd Logo (November 15, 2015-)

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

FX/SFX: None.

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

Availability: Currently seen on the 2015 AMC series Into the Badlands and the 2016 MTV series The Shannara Chronicles. It's expected to appear on the upcoming 2022 Netflix series Wednesday.
