There are a lot of applications using "Reddit" in their name.
Also I'm pretty sure they would have to trademark "Reddito" or "Reddit" as a prefix (like "i" prefix for Apple product).
So I think it should be good.
- blatherard 13y agoReddit has a page about the alien logo, http://www.reddit.com/about/alien/ http://www.reddit.com/about/alien/ "We require a license to use these logos in anything outside reddit, both for free and for profit."
- kirualex 13y agosaw that, see previous comment. I'd be delighted to talk with someone who has some insight on those matters though.

- kirualex 13y agoAlso from their site : "Web or Mobile Application This policy is still be thoroughly defined. Stay tuned for this to be updated more in the coming months. We’re pretty open here as well but are very cognizant of the use of the reddit trademark. It is a best practice when creating an app to not include the reddit trademark in the name or icon and to be clear that the app is not made or maintained by reddit, i.e. “App for reddit” is much better than “reddit App.”"
- olalonde 13y agoI wasn't aware of that. Maybe it's because Reddit doesn't care but I still think it's a bit risky as they could change their attitude down the road especially if you app becomes popular.
- olalonde 13y agoDo you seriously think someone could open a coffee shop franchise and call it Starbuckso or open a software shop and call it Microsofto?
