1st Logo (October 12, 1999-November 10, 2011)
Nicknames: "Orange-Red Ink", "Ink Bottle Gets the Hammer"

Logo: In an office setting, at the forefront we see a tiny bottle filled with orange red ink in it labeled: MILLAR GOUGH INK

in an Impact font colored yellow, with the bottom half of " INK " in white/. After one of the music variants are heard, a hammer (which, if you look very closely can be seen in the reflection on the bottle) falls down and breaks the bottle, causing the ink to fly everywhere and cover up the whole screen.

Variant: On the short-lived show The Strip and some 4:3 prints of Smallville, there is an open-matte version of the logo.

FX/SFX: The hammer smashing the ink bottle, the ink spreading. All live-action effects.

Music/Sounds: Here are the main music variants in the logo: All music variants ended with the sound of a bottle breaking. Sometimes, louder.
 * 1999: After the closing theme of the show plays, there is a splattering sound.
 * 2001-2002: Just a sound of the bottle breaking.
 * Early 2002: An odd 3-note piano tune with an eerie sound effect.
 * 2002-2011: A reverberating cartoon ditty.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * On the Smallville season 1 episodes "X-Ray" and "Hug", the bottle breaking sound is absent.
 * On early season 2 episodes of Smallville, the reverberating cartoon ditty is somewhat slightly quieter before the bottle breaking sound appears.

Availability: Common. First seen on the short-lived show The Strip, and later seen on Smallville and the 2011 version of Charlie's Angels. It also made an appearance on the 2006 pilot of Aquaman, which was initially released on iTunes and later included as a bonus feature on the Blu-ray release of Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths.

FX/SFX: None.

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

Availability: Seen on the 2015 AMC series Into the Badlands and the 2016 MTV series The Shannara Chronicles.
