I feel like giving out something to the community today. And there’s one thing I’ve been missing: a set of vector graphics for Metro UI, and in particular, “I love Windows Phone” piece. Several people asked me about it, so I created one in SVG, using my favorite vector tool: Inkscape.
License: This vector set is released under the free creative commons license (CC), feel free to use in works. I hope it will inspire you to build more amazing Windows Phone apps.
