It's Winter Break for many of us and being the geeks we are, we're looking for something to develop... 
When kicking off a new project, many times it can really help starting from an existing Project Template.
We've highlighted the cool UWP templates from FirstFloor before, Go beyond "Blank App" with these Windows 10 VS 2015 Project Templates and they've not been idle. Recently the templates have been rebranded as the Link Removed...

Once you've created your UWP app, one of the drudgery steps can be dealing with all the logo you'll need.
That's where this Project will come in VERY handy...

This is a Visual Studio extension that allows for easy logo image creation. It takes large source images (square and wide) and creates resized copies that are used for app logos and splash screens in Windows Universal Apps.
Right click any .png image and choose the new "Scale image..." context menu item.
If the file already has a scale (like scale-400.png) in its filename, then you will be given the option to generate the smaller scales.
If the file doesn't have a scale-xxx in its name, then you will be given the option to generate either square or wide images for Windows Universal App manifests. Depends on if your image is a square or not. It's best to start with really large images so that a lot of smaller scales can be generated.
Thanks!
