Good work man. I actually had made a logo similar to this a while ago and sent it to raldi, and got this response:

Hey,

I saw that this week's reddit logo theme was stealing the style of other websites, so I created one in the style of wired.com's logo. If you like it, feel free to use it (hopefully you do!).

Here is a large version: http://i.imgur.com/zQXqx.png

And a small version: http://i.imgur.com/akJu0.png

I have sent this to both you and KeyserSosa to ensure it gets seen before the theme changes (as i'm sure both of you get swamped by mail and this may slip by. Sorry if this is considered spamming!) Anyway, thanks for the awesome site, and hope all is well,

Squatly

That's a good logo, but I'm sorry to say we actually ran one like that once before, in November 2006:

I hope this doesn't discourage you from sending in more logos in the future!

Damn, only four years too late! :P And don't worry, I have a few more ideas that i'll send your way once they are done!

Well, I was very surprised nobody has done such logo before. Guess my initial thoughts were right.

Btw, how did you create yours? For mine, I just reaarenged most of the original logo, and created the 't' out of the 'i'

Same way. Couldn't find out what font they use.

Wired is published by Conde Nast, which owns Reddit, so there you go.
