'''Audio:''' It varies, but they usually end with a glass breaking sound.
'''Variants:'''

* 1999-2000: The ending theme of the show.
* Cropped 4:3 versions exist.
* 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).
'''FX/SFX:''' The hammer smashing the ink bottle, the ink spreading. It's all live-action.

'''Music/Sounds:''' Here are the main music versions:
* 1999: After the closing theme of the show plays, there is a splattering sound.
* 2001-2002: Just a different sound of the bottle breaking.
* On the ''Smallville'' season 1 episodes "X-Ray" and "Hug", the logo is silent.
* Early 2002: An 3-note odd, short piano tune with an eerie sound effect is played in the background.
* 2002-2011: A reverberating cartoon ditty.
* On early season 2 episodes of ''Smallville'', the reverberating cartoon ditty is somewhat slightly quieter before the bottle breaking sound appears.

All music versions ended with the bottle breaking sound, sometimes louder.

'''Availability:''' 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.

'''Legacy:''' While the sound of the bottle breaking can be possibly startling for some people (especially the version without music where a bottle breaks 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.
