Millar Gough Ink (My Version)

Background
Millar Gough Ink is a production company founded in 1997 by Miles Millar and Alfred Gough.

1st Logo (1997? (maybe the logo didn't appear in 1997-1998 shows.) October 12th, 1999-November 10th, 2011)
Nicknames: "Orange-Red Ink", "Ink Bottle Gets the Hammer", "Splattering Ink"

Logo: In an office setting, at the center, we see a bottle with orange red ink inside of it labeled the stacked words reading with the company name in an Impact font colored in, with only the bottom half in white. After one of the music variants are heard, a hammer (which, if you look very, very closely, can be seen in the reflection on the bottle) falls down on top of it and hammers the bottle, breaking it, causing the ink in it to spread everywhere, covering up the whole screen, transitioning to the next or split-screen one.

Variant: There exists an open-matte version of the logo. This can be seen on 4:3 prints of all episodes of Smallville, along with the short-lived series The Strip.

FX/SFX: Entirely live-action.

Cheesy Factor: How could there be so much ink in that bottle? Also, the transition to the next or split-screen logo is slightly poorly done.

Music/Sounds: Here are the music variants in this logo: Music/Sounds Variants: Availability: Common. First seen on the short-lived series The Strip, and later seen on Smallville and the 2011 remake of Charlie's Angels on ABC. It also made an appearance on the 2006 television pilot of Aquaman, which was initially released on iTunes and later included as a bonus feature on the Blu-ray release of Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths.
 * 1999: The closing theme of the show, along with a splattering sound.
 * 2001-2002: Just a sound of the glass shattering.
 * Early 2002: An odd, 3-note piano tune, accompanied by an eerie, distorted chorus.
 * 2002-2011: A reverberating 13-note synth-organ ditty, followed by a last note and a glass shattering sound.
 * On the Smallville season 1 episodes "X-Ray" and "Hug", the glass shattering sound is absent.
 * On early season 2 episodes of Smallville, the synth-organ ditty is somewhat too very, little quieter before the glass shattering sound appears.
 * Some of the original airings of Smallville use a generic theme and a voice over.

Legacy: For only the sound of the glass shattering, the bottle breaking with no warning can be jarring to many people. However, for the music version, it may slightly be less-scary with the music playing. Also, for another music version, the piano tune can be creepy.

Scare Factor:


 * 2001-2002: Medium to high. The bottle suddenly breaking with no warning can be jarring to many people, especially after the long silence during both this logo and the one before such as the old Tollin Productions logo.
 * 2002: Medium, the piano tune can be creepy.
 * 2002-2011: Low to medium. It is slightly less-scary with the music playing.

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

FX/SFX: None.

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

Availability: Seen on the AMC series Into the Badlands and the MTV series The Shannara Chronicles. It's expected to appear on the upcoming 2022 Netflix series Wednesday.

Legacy: None.

Scare Factor: Low. The logo can creep someone out, but it's tamer than the last logo.
