<p class="panel panel--warning">The .NET Brand, illustrations, and wallpapers are the result of some amazing designers at Microsoft. I just put together the resources into a simple theme, <strong>the <a rel="noopener" href="https://github.com/dotnet/brand/graphs/contributors" target="_blank">authors/designers</a> deserve all the praise</strong> for this!</p>

Today's day and age, it seems software can't be released without a cute mascot and slick logo. Official branding and brand consistency was something that .NET historically struggled with. I often struggle finding official logos, resources, and brand guidance for .NET and really many of Microsoft's technologies.


Naturally, I was very excited when I discovered this new <a rel="noopener" href="https://github.com/dotnet/brand" target="_blank" title="The .NET Brand GitHub repository">official .NET Brand repository</a> containing a detailed <a rel="noopener" href="https://github.com/dotnet/brand/blob/master/dotnet-brand-guidelines.pdf" target="_blank" title=".NET Brand Guidelines">Brand guidelines PDF</a>, logo's, illustrations, and wallpapers. Using these beautiful wallpapers and the primary .NET Brand color, I put together a .NET Windows Theme. Feel free to download and share this theme:
