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

Logo: On a background with the office setting, at the forefront is a bottle with orange-red ink in it. A black label covers the bottom half, containing the text:

MILLAR GOUGH INK

in Impact,, and a stacked format. "Impact" has the bottom half in white. A split-second before the logo ends, an unidentifiable object falls on top of it and breaks the bottle, causing the ink to spread everywhere, including covering up the whole screen.

Variants:
 * The logo exists in both a full-screen and wide-screen format.
 * On The Strip until October 16, 2001, the animation is slightly faster.
 * An extremely rare still variant exists seen at the bottom-left of the screen available for the information on the season 1 DVD release of Into the Badlands.

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 the Smallville season 1 episodes "X-Ray" and ending with "Hug", the glass breaking sound was absent.
 * 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 Smallville starting with season 1, during the logo's early days, the music is omitted originally.
 * 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. It reappeared on Superman + Aquaman Special which used this logo.
