Next we will apply gradient to the shadow and reduce its opacity. For this, we will first duplicate app icon then use transform and interpolate functions in inkscape. After this, we will learn to create long shadow. We will start with creating icon elements: background and basic icon. In this tutorial I will show how you can create a flat long shadow app icon from scratch using free vector graphics editor, Inkscape. Many Windows Phone apps including 6snap (shown below) use this design in their app logos. Using long flat shadow for designing app icons is a popular trend in flat design. These extended drop shadows are characteristically angled at approximately 45 degrees below the horizontal axis, preferably towards the right.
