Millar Gough Ink

'''NOTE: This article is in an W.I.P stage. More logos and scare factors coming soon.'''

Background:
Millar Gough Ink is the production company founded in 1995 by Miles Millar and Alfred Gough. It has produced the long-running television programs. They also produced films produced by this company.

WARNING: For the first logo, if you think the gel spreading startles you, don't be worried.

1st Logo (October 12, 1999-November 10, 2011):
Nickname: "Orange-Red Ink."

The first logo debuted on October 12, 1999. It began with the office setting with a milk bottle with a black lid, filled with orange red gel in it. A dark-brown label covers the bottom half, which contains the text " MILLAR GOUGH INK " in gold, an Impact font and a stacked format, with "INK" having the bottom-half in white. A split-second before the logo ends, a sledgehammer falls down and hits it, causing the gel to spread everyone, covering up the screen and the orange red background to fade in.

Variants:


 * Starting with the 2001-2011 series Smallville, the logo plays slightly slower for two seconds.
 * A cropped 16:9 version shows the logo in widescreen.
 * Originally on The Strip, the logo plays a bit slightly faster.

FX/SFX: Live action.

Music/Sounds:


 * October 12, 1999-July 7, 2000: The ending theme, then the splattering sound.
 * 2001-2002: Either just the sound of the glass shattering or silent.
 * February 26, 2002-May 21, 2002: An 3-note odd piano tune composed with a Korg M1 "Piano8" patch, accompanied by a dramatic eerie synth noise.
 * September 24, 2002-November 10, 2011: A more-familiar organ tune, accompanied by an 7-note orchestral tune, followed by a synth note as the bottle breaks.

Availability: Common. It mainly appeared on Smallville. It first appeared on The Strip. It also made an appearance on the 2006 pilot film Aquaman and the 2011 series Charlie's Angels.
