Fullscreen with left & right black bars
Widescreen

Visuals: In an office setting is a bottle filled with scarlet ink. A black label covers the bottom half, containing the company name in Impact, 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.

1999-2000: The ending theme of the show.
October 2001-2002: None.

-'''Logo:''' In an office setting, at the forefront, we see a bottle filled with {{color|orangered|orange red}} ink in it labeled with the company name in an Impact font colored in a {{color|gold}}-white gradient. 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) swings down and breaks the bottle, causing the ink in it to spread everywhere, covering up the whole screen.
