Background

Millar Gough Ink is the production company of Miles Millar and Alfred Gough.

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

Nicknames: "Orange-Red Ink", "Ink Bottle Gets the Banhammer", "(silent) SPLAT!!"

Logo: In an office setting, at the forefront, we see a bottle filled with orange red ink labeled:

MILLAR
GOUGH
INK

in an Impact font, with the bottom half of "INK" colored silver. After a while, a hammer (which, if you look very closely, can be seen in the reflection on the bottle) swings down and smashes the bottle, causing the orange red ink in it to fly everywhere and cover up the 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.

FX/SFX: The hammer smashing the ink bottle, the ink spreading. It's all live-action.

Music/Sounds:

1999-2002: Just the sound of the bottle breaking. The closing theme of the show may also be played before the bottle breaking sound.
Early 2002: An odd, short piano tune with an eerie sound effect is played in the background before the shatter sound.
2002-2011: A reverberating cartoon ditty prior to the shatter sound.
On The Strip, there is a different splattering sound, but without the shattering sound.
On the Smallville season 1 episodes "X-Ray" and "Hug", the logo is silent.
On early season 2 episodes of Smallville, the reverberating cartoon ditty is somewhat slightly quieter before the bottle breaking sound appears.

Availability: First seen on the short-lived show The Strip. Also seen on Smallville and the 2011 version of Charlie's Angels.

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.

2nd Logo (November 15, 2015-May 6, 2019)

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

FX/SFX: None.

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

Availability: Seen on Into the Badlands and The Shannara Chronicles.

Editor's Note: None.
