A black label covers the bottom half, containing the company name in Impact, {{color|gold}}, and a stacked format. "'''INK'''" has a bottom white gradient. A split-second before the logo ends, a hammer swings down and smashes the bottle, causing the ink to spread everywhere, including covering up the whole screen.
'''Variant:''' On the short-lived show ''The Strip'', 2003 DVD releases and Channel 4 and E4 airings of season 1 and 4:3 prints of all episodes of ''Smallville'', the logo is shown in fullscreen.


'''Variant:''' The logo exists in both a <u>fullscreen</u> and <u>widescreen</u> format.
'''FX/SFX:''' The hammer smashing the ink bottle, the ink spreading. It's all live-action.


'''Music/Sounds:'''
'''Technique:''' Live-action.
*1999: After the the closing theme of the show plays, there is a splattering sound.
*2001-2002: Just the sound of the bottle breaking. The closing theme of the show may also be played before the bottle breaking sound.
*2001-2002 Variant: On the ''Smallville'' season 1 episodes "X-Ray" and "Hug", the logo is silent.
*Early 2002: An odd, short piano tune with an eerie sound effect is played in the background before the bottle breaking sound.
*2002-2011: A reverberating cartoon ditty is played in the background before the bottle breaking sound.
*On early season 2 episodes of ''Smallville'', the reverberating cartoon ditty is somewhat slightly quieter before the bottle breaking sound appears.


'''Audio:''' It varies, but they usually end with a glass breaking sound.
'''Availability:''' First seen on the short-lived show ''The Strip''. Also seen on ''Smallville'' and the 2011 version of ''Charlie's Angels''. Don't expect this on the company's films, though.
* October 12, 1999: After the ending theme of the show, a splattering sound is heard.
* 1999-2000: The ending theme of the show.
* October 2001-2002: None.
* 2001-2002 (''Smallville'' episodes "X-Ray" and "Hug"): Entirely silent.
* February-May 2002: An odd, three-note piano tune composed by Mark Snow.
* September 2002-November 10, 2011: A reverberating cartoon ditty again composed by Mark Snow.
* Original airings use a generic theme and a voice over.


'''Availability:''' It debuted on ''The Strip'' and was later seen on ''Smallville'', the 2006 TV pilot of ''Aquaman'', and ''Charlie's Angels'' (2011).
'''Editor's Note:''' While the sound of the bottle breaking can be startling for some people (especially the version without music where it breaks with no warning, which could be jarring to many people), some people may find this logo funny, and it may be favored for fans of ''Smallville''.
