Millar Gough Ink

Background
Millar Gough Ink is an American television and film production company that has co-produced the short-lived series The Strip, the Superman prequel television series Smallville, the 2006 television pilot of Aquaman, the 2011 Charlie's Angels revival, the AMC series Into The Badlands, the MTV series The Shannara Chronicles and the upcoming 2022 Netflix series Wednesday. It was founded in 1997 by Miles Millar and Alfred Gough, but they did not use the logo until October 1999. The logo doesn't appear on films, but the logo only appeared on television series.

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: The hammer falling, the hammer breaking the bottle, the ink splashing. Entirely live-action. The live-action logo was made by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar.

Music/Sounds: Both music variants ended with the sound of a glass breaking or the ink spreading, sometimes, louder.
 * October 12, 1999: The closing theme of the show before the splattering sound.
 * October 16, 2001-February 12, 2002: Originally, only just the sound of a bottle breaking.
 * February 26, 2002-May 21, 2002: An 3-note odd, piano tune, accompanied by an eerie, distorted chorus noise, is played in the background.
 * September 24, 2002-November 10, 2011: An 13-note cathedral organ ditty, accompanied by an 7-note instrumental tune, followed by a last note and the sound of a bottle breaking.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * 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.
 * Most of the original airings (e.g. The CW) use a generic theme and a voice over.

Availability: 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.

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.
