Millar Gough Ink

Background
Millar Gough Ink is an American television and film production company founded in 1997 by Miles Millar and Alfred Gough.

1st Logo (October 12, 1999-November 10, 2011)
Logo: At the center of the office, we see a bottle filled with orange red ink in it labeled the stacked -white gradient words reading:

MILLAR GOUGH INK

in an Impact font. After one of the music variants are played, a hammer (which, if you look very, very closely, you can see a hammer falling down, as seen in the reflection on the bottle) falls down on top of it and breaks it, causing the ink in it to splash everywhere, covering up the whole screen.

Variant: There exists an open-matte version of the logo.

FX/SFX: Entirely live-action. The live-action logo was made by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar.

Music/Sounds: There are the music variants being heard in this logo, which ends with the sound of the bottle breaking, except for the 1999 variant: Music/Sounds Variants:
 * October 12th, 1999-July 7th, 2000: The closing theme of the show, along with the splattering sound.
 * October 16th, 2001-February 12th, 2002: Originally, it has the sound of a bottle breaking.
 * February 26th, 2002-May 21st, 2002: An 3-note odd, short piano tune, accompanied by an eerie, distorted chorus.
 * September 24th, 2002-November 10th, 2011: As the music variant, it started using an 13-note, reverberating, less-scary cathedral organ ditty, accompanied by an 7-note instrumental tune before the last note.
 * On the episodes "X-Ray" and "Hug" of the 1st season of Smallville, the bottle breaking sound is omitted.
 * On the early episodes of the 2nd season of Smallville, the cathedral organ ditty is somewhat slightly quieter before the bottle breaking sound appears.
 * Some original airings (eg. The CW) use a generic theme and a voice over.
 * On the episode "Arrival" of the 5th season of Smallville, the last note and the bottle breaking sounds are synced due to several reasons.

Availability: Pretty common. First seen on the short-lived series The Strip, and later seen on Smallville and the 2011 remake of Charlie's Angels on ABC, Sony Crackle and the CTV Throwback in Canada. It is also seen on the 2011 revival show, which was also initially released as a Blu-ray print by Mill Creek Entertainment, and also seen on the 2011 revival show as a DVD release by ABC Signature. It also made an appearance on the 2006 television pilot of Aquaman, which was initially released on iTunes on July 2006 and later included as a bonus feature on the Blu-ray release of Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths. This doesn't appear on films such as Hannah Montana: The Movie, which has the different company's logo instead.

2nd Logo (November 15, 2015-)
Logo: On a black background, we see the stacked dark red words "MILLAR GOUGH". To the right of it is a dark red beaker with a black water drop in it, and inside the drop, we see the dark red text "INK".

FX/SFX: None.

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

Availability: Currently seen on the 2015 AMC series Into the Badlands and the 2016 MTV series The Shannara Chronicles. It's expected to appear on the upcoming 2022 Netflix series Wednesday. This doesn't appear on films.
