I am currently developing some graphics that I want to release under
certain conditions:

* users can employ the graphics for any medium and can use the
graphics for commercial and non-commercial work.

*Credit to the original author in any form is not mandatory but is
highly appreciated.

*The files may be changed/updated/manipulated/redistributed as long as
they are accompanied by a text file giving original credit to the
author.

So is there a license I can use already written or should I manipulate
and write my own?
What you're describing sounds equivalent in spirit to the Creative Commons Attribution license. It makes credit mandatory, not optional (per your second item), and it doesn't specify a format for attribution (your third point), but otherwise it sounds about right. You should look at the license and the license terms and see if they're roughly acceptable to you.
