Rec Room branding you should not copy

The colours, wordmark, and UI chrome belonged to a company that shut down. Using them on a replacement is how you look like a scam and a trademark problem at once.

Openrooms is a different product on purpose. Claim a handle, write your own name for the room, and let people recognise the work — not a copied logo.

Independence is the copy

The landing page already says we are unconnected to Rec Room Inc. or Snap. Your room page should not fight that sentence.

Creators who lost work still search the old brand. Meet them with a clear story, not a skin.

What you can reuse

Your own room names, your screenshots of your spaces, your voice. Not their marketing.

Frequently asked questions

Can I say “after Rec Room” in a title?

You can describe history in plain language. Do not put their mark in your wordmark.

What about fan homages inside a room?

Build original spaces. Homages that copy UI are how small platforms get letters.
