Millar Gough Ink

There are custom variations of the real logo, but it isn't taken to be as real logo variations.

This is a real company, but this real logo isn't allowed, otherwise it will be deleted on sight.

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. They did not use the logo until 1999.

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. The text is in an Impact typeface, colored in and it's in the stacked format, all in uppercase letters. The word "INK" has the bottom white gradient. 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:


 * The logo exists in both a wide screen and full screen format.
 * On The Strip or rare prints of season 1 of Smallville, the logo plays faster.

Technique: Live-action.

Music/Sounds: Depending on the variant:

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * October 12, 1999-July 7, 2000: The closing theme of the show.
 * October 16, 2001-February 12, 2002: Just the sound of a bottle breaking.
 * February 26, 2002-May 21, 2002: An 3-note odd, short Korg M1 internal patch "Piano8" tune with an eerie sound effect.
 * September 24, 2002-November 10, 2011: An familiar 13-note Roland D-50 internal patch "Cathedral Organ" ditty.


 * On some rare prints of season 1 of Smallville, the ending theme of the show before the bottle breaking sound.
 * On the Smallville season 1 episodes "X-Ray" and "Hug", no audio is played in the Millar-Gough Ink logo.
 * On The C&W airings of Smallville, it may use generic themes and the announcer.

Availability: Common. First seen on The Strip, and also later seen on Smallville, the 2006 television pilot of Aquaman and the 2011 remake of Charlie's Angels.

2nd Logo (November 15, 2015-November 23, 2022)

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: None, or the ending theme of the show.

Availability: Appears on the 2015 AMC series Into the Badlands, the 2016 MTV series The Shannara Chronicles and the 2022 Netflix series Wednesday.
