1st Logo (October 12, 1999-November 10, 2011-2015?)

Logo: In an office setting, at the forefront, a bottle filled with orange-red ink is seen at the middle of the screen. A black label covers the bottom half, containing the company name in Helvetica Black,, uppercase, and a stacked format. "INK" has the bottom half in white. A split-second before the logo ends, a larger sledge-hammer falls from the upper-corner and crushes the bottle, causing the ink to spread everywhere, including covering up the whole screen.

Variants:
 * The logo exists in both a fullscreen and widescreen format.
 * On The Strip until October 16, 2001, the animation is slightly faster.
 * At the bottom-left of the screen for the info on the season 1 DVD release of Into the Badlands, the logo is still.

Technique: Entirely live-action.

Music/Sounds: It varies, but they usually end with the glass breaking sound. Music/Sounds Variants:
 * 1999-2000: The ending theme of the show.
 * February 2002-May 2002: An odd, three-note piano tune composed by Mark Snow with an eerie sound effect was heard.
 * 2002-2011: On Smallville starting with the episode "Vortex", a reverberating cartoon ditty again composed by Mark Snow was heard. It was reused on the 2011 series Charlie's Angels while the final note is heard on the Flower Films and Panda Productions logos.


 * On Smallville starting with the episode "X-Ray" and ending with "Hug", the glass breaking sound has been omitted in the logo.
 * On some prints of the season 2 Smallville episode "Vortex", the reverberating cartoon ditty is somewhat slightly quieter.
 * Originally, on The CW airings of Smallville, the music and the glass breaking sound were both replaced with the general theme and the voiceover.
 * On The Strip, it originally used a splattering sound instead of the glass breaking sound.

Availability: Common. It first appeared on The Strip, then later seen on Smallville, the 2006 pilot film Aquaman and the 2011 remake of Charlie's Angels. The still variant is extremely rare and is seen at the bottom-left of the DVD cover for the information on the AMC DVD release of season 1 of Into the Badlands.
