Background

Millar Gough Ink is an American television and film production company founded in 1995 by the Smallville creators Miles Millar and Alfred Gough. They are known from having co-produced television series such as The Strip, Smallville, the 2006 TV pilot of Aquaman, the 2011 reboot of Charlie's Angels, the 2015 wuxia AMC series Into The Badlands, the 2016 fantasy MTV series The Shannara Chronicles and the 2022 Netflix Tim Burton's The Addams Family spin off series Wednesday.

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

Logo: In an office setting, at the forefront we see a bottle filled with scarlet ink in it labeled the stacked words reading with the company name in an Impact font colored in gold, with only bottom half of the word "INK" in white. After one of the music variants are heard, a hammer (which, if you look at the bottle very closely, you can see a hammer coming down in the reflection on the bottle) swings down 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.

FX/SFX: Live-action animation.

Music/Sounds: Depending on the variant:

2001-2002: Just the sound of a bottle breaking.
February 2002-May 2002: An odd, three-note piano tune.
2002-2011: A reverberating cartoon ditty.

All music variants end with the bottle breaking sound or the splattering sound.

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.
Original airings use a generic theme and a voice over.
On The Strip, the closing theme of the show before the splattering sound.

Availability: Common. First seen on the The Strip. Also later seen on Smallville, the 2006 TV pilot of Aquaman (formally Mercy Reef) and the 2011 reboot of Charlie's Angels.

2nd Logo (November 15, 2015-)

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

FX/SFX: None.

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

Availability: Seen on the AMC series Into the Badlands, the fantasy MTV series The Shannara Chronicles and the Netflix Tim Burton's The Addams Family spin off series Wednesday.
