Millar Gough Ink

Background
Millar Gough Ink is a production company by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar.

1st Logo (October 12, 1999-November 10, 2011)
Logo: In an office setting, at the forefront we see a bottle filled with orange red ink in it labeled "MILLAR GOUGH INK" in a -white gradient. After a while, a split-second before the logo ends, a hammer (which can be seen coming down in the bottle's reflection if the viewer looks too very closely) swings down and smashes the bottle, causing the orange red ink in it to fly everywhere and cover up the screen.

Variant: There exists an open-matte version of the logo.

FX/SFX: Entirely live-action.

Music/Sounds: Music/Sounds Variants: Availability: Common. First seen on The Strip. Also later seen on Smallville and the 2011 reboot of Charlie's Angels. It also appeared on the 2006 television pilot of Aquaman, known as Mercy Reef, so please don't expect to see this on the company's films, though.
 * October 16, 2001-February 12, 2002: Just the sound of a bottle breaking.
 * February 26, 2002-May 21, 2002: An odd, three-note piano tune with a scary noise.
 * September 24th, 2002-November 10, 2011: A reverberating cartoon ditty.
 * A silent variant exists. In this one, the bottle breaking sound in the logo is absent.
 * On early season 2 episodes of Smallville, the reverberating cartoon ditty is somewhat slightly quieter before the shatter sound appears.
 * Original airings use a generic theme and a voice over.
 * On The Strip, the closing theme of the show before the splattering sound.

2nd Logo (November 15, 2015-)
Logo: On a black background, we see the stacked words "MILLAR GOUGH". To the right it is a beaker with a big black water drop in it, and inside the water drop, we see the word "INK".

FX/SFX: None.

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

Availability:


 * Seen on the 2015 AMC series Into the Badlands.
 * This can also be seen on the 2016 MTV series The Shannara Chronicles.
 * The 2022 Netflix series Wednesday has this logo also.
 * In films, it has a different company's logo instead; so please don't expect to see this on the company's films, though.
