Nicknames: "Orange-Red Ink", "Ink Bottle Gets the Banhammer"

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

MILLAR GOUGH INK

The text is written in yellow, with only the bottom half of "INK " in white/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.

FX/SFX: 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.

Music/Sounds Variant:

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: For the version with only the sound of the bottle breaking, the bottle breaking with no warning can be jarring to many people. However, for the music version, it may slightly less scary than the earlier version, and it may be favored for fans of Smallville.

2nd Logo (November 15, 2015-)

Editor's Note: None.
