Digital Swag (wallpapers, cake designs, and more!)

The .NET design team has put together an awesome array of digital goodies for you to celebrate including wallpapers, Teams backgrounds, cake designs, e-mail signature images, and a whole lot more. They are high-res and customizable with SVGs, here is my current wallpaper on my ultra-wide:

The dotnet-bot is the mascot for the .NET community. Create your coding companion by modding the dotnet-bot and then share your creation with the world.
