  Did you not read 4 lines below that on how you should indicate that your app does in fact use Instagram APIs? > If you offer an app, website or a product or service that uses the Instagram APIs or is otherwise compatible with or related to Instagram, you may only use Instagram to say that your app is "for Instagram" or that the name of your campaign is "on Instagram" in a descriptive manner. If the name of the app is "InPlan - Planner for Instagram" and the "for Instagram" is dictated by the Instagram rules, how exactly would you propose they modify that? If you want to dispute the logo, look at the changed logo they used. It does not infringe the Instagram logo at all.

    > Did you not read 4 lines below that on how you should indicate that your app does in fact use Instagram APIs? Read the rules in their entirety. Simply calling the app "X for Instagram" doesn't absolve them for the other rules they obviously broke... Like using a gradient and rounded rectangles together while calling it "InPlan" is so blatantly trying to associate their brand with Instagram's it's hilarious they think it's ok simply because they added "for Instagram" at the end. Edit - their new logo is so derivative it's still a blatant ripoff, all they did was tone down the yellow and purple lol...
