Millar Gough Ink

Information
Millar/Gough Ink (formerly known as Chiller Productions) is an American film and television production company founded in 1995 by Miles Millar and Alfred Gough, but they did not use the logo until 1999 as of The Strip.

1st Logo (1995? 1997? October 12, 1999-November 10, 2011)
Logo: In an office setting, we see a bottle with scarlet ink. A black label covers the bottom half, containing the company name in an Impact typeface, colored in and it's in the stacked format, all in uppercase letters. The word "INK" has the bottom half in white. A split-second before the logo ends, a hammer (which, if the viewer looks very closely, it can be seen coming down in the bottle's reflection) swings down and breaks the bottle, causing the ink to spread everywhere, including covering up the whole screen.

Variants: There are real or dream variations being included:

Technique: Live-action. Different live-action animation for the early variant.
 * The logo exists in both a widescreen and fullscreen format.
 * On season 3 of Tex and Zeke, the words "Produced in association with" is above the logo.
 * An extremely rare still variant exists on the season 1 DVD release of Into The Badlands, but don't expect this logo to appear on the said show either; that one has the 2nd and current logo instead.
 * On the Wow! Wow! Wubbzy-based series Wubbzy's Journal, Wubbzy appears as he kicks the blue ball with light blue dots, where he appears from the left, on a gold background. The last kick Wubbzy does causes the gold wall to break, transitioning to this logo here. The text above the bottle is "In Association With". No hammer is shown.
 * On Sun-Drop Spillers, there is an early variant of the logo where "INK" is spaced out fitting the width of "MILLAR" and "GOUGH" for a certain reason, the registered symbol is added next to "INK", the byline reading "A Waltograph Company" is added below the bottle and the text "www.millargoughink.com" is added below the byline from here. Also, the logo appears to be in an open-matte format without black bars. The ink spreading is a little different than the regular one in this variant (the early variant), exactly like that.
 * Another early variant is seen on most episodes where "INK" is seen from here in the black label onto it, "MILLAR" and GOUGH" in a stacked format is seen at the left and the registered symbol is added next to the bottle in it. Also, no hammer is shown, but the background in this variant (another early variant) is black. The whole logo looks like the print logo, as seen on most episodes of Sun-Drop Spillers.
 * On all seasons except for the show's special of Foofa: Adventures in Gabbaland, there is a variant where the ink in the bottle is supposed to be like the color of Foofa (from Yo Gabba Gabba!, the series), the company text is in a font like the Onn. logo, "INK" is spaced out fitting the width of "MILLAR" and "GOUGH", the company text is all in lowercase letters, the background is Gabbaland instead of the office setting and it consists of  flowers. This variant appears at the end of the said show, but no hammer is shown.
 * On The Wednesdayman Family, the logo is shifted upwards.
 * On The Propeller Head Family, a variant of the logo has the words "A MILLAR/GOUGH INK PRODUCTION" above the bottle.
 * A variant exists with the words "PRODUCED, DEVELOPED AND DISTRIBUTED IN ASSOCIATION WITH" above the bottle, either with or without the hammer.
 * On De-Supah Ludship, the logo is stretched for unknown reasons, but no hammer is shown.
 * On the movie Go Habba Habba, the logo is still, but no hammer, and the background is instead black.
 * On The Lag Indicator, the screen contains a glitchy effect, and when the screen breaks, the words "MILLAR" is replaced with "GET", "GOUGH" is replaced with "LAGGED", and "INK" is replaced with "LOL" (hence the word "LOL", for Laugh Out Loud), but no hammer.
 * On the animated Nintendo co-production series The Paper Boo Into The Catcherfunds, there is a version where the logo appears to be still, as Paper Boo suddenly tries to appear where it although catches the ink bottle, which causes the background to suddenly fade out.

Music/Sounds: Depending on the variant: Music/Sounds Variants: There are real or dream music/sounds variations being included: Availability: Common. First seen on The Strip, and also later seen on Smallville, the 2006 television pilot of Aquaman, Tex and Zeke and the 2011 remake of Charlie's Angels. Don't expect this logo to appear on films; that one has the different company's logo instead of this logo instead.
 * October 12, 1999-July 7, 2000: The closing theme of the show, along with the splattering sound.
 * October 16, 2001-February 12, 2002: Just the sound of a bottle breaking.
 * February 26, 2002-May 21, 2002: A three-note odd piano tune with an eerie sound effect is played in the background before the shatter sound.
 * September 24, 2002-November 10, 2011: A reverberating cartoon ditty prior to the shatter sound.
 * On the Smallville season 1 episodes "X-Ray" and "Hug", no audio is played in the logo.
 * On early 2nd season episodes of Smallville, including "Vortex", the cartoon ditty may play a little quieter.
 * On The C&W airings of Smallville, it may use generic themes and the announcer.
 * For the variant on the Wow! Wow! Wubbzy-based series Wubbzy's Journal, we hear Wubbzy kicking the ball, the glass breaking as the wall gets hit by a ball, and a whoosh as it transitions to the company's logo, but no music.
 * Sometimes, the closing theme of the show may be played before the bottle breaking sound.
 * On Sun-Drop Spillers, the reverberating cartoon ditty is more little quieter, but in a very, tiny little slightly high tone.
 * For the Foofa: Adventures in Gabbaland variant, we can hear the last note along with the 13th note of the music, accompanied by a bell gliss.
 * For the The Lag Indicator variant, we hear glitchy sounds, but the reverberating cartoon ditty music winds down with a robotic voice saying "Get lag indicated lol, get lag indicated lol, get lag indicated lol...", along with the Nelvana logo theme being wind down in the same variant of the Nelvana logo.
 * For the variant on the animated Nintendo co-production series The Paper Boo Into The Catcherfunds, the Paper Boo appears with a creepy sound, and Boo's laugh is heard as Paper Boo tries to catch onto the ink bottle itself before it flies away with a very creepy sound.
