AWS Simple Icons: Usage Guidelines
Check to make sure you have the most
recent set of AWS Simple Icons
Find the most recent set at:
aws.amazon.com/architecture/icons/
Always use icon labels
Be sure to always include a label below the icon
or on the group in Arial. The only exception is in
complex diagrams; you have the option to
create a key.
Non-AWS technology
Any server or other non-AWS technology in an
architecture diagram should be represented with
the grey server (see Slide 29).
Creating diagrams
Try to use direct lines (rather than ‘criss-cross’),
use adequate whitespace, and remember to label
all icons.
Console icons
The first icon in most service sets is the console
icon. These should be used to represent the
service on a more general level when you will
not be going into as much depth.

Mechanical Turk vs. Amazon Mechanical Turk
Do not use simple "Mechanical Turk" to refer to Amazon Mechanical Turk. Use Amazon Mechanical Turk to describe
the entire system, Amazon Mechanical Turk website for the worker website, and Amazon Mechanical Turk web service
to describe the product.
