2. Release 16-2023.04.28: What’s New?
For this release our objective was to improve and simplify the system to give our customers a better experience by
making our icons accessible, updating to the AWS brand’s new color palette, and expanding our general icons library.
Source for accessibility testing: https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/
Accessibility
• Contrast ratio for icon and line color is
at least 3:1.
• Contrast ratio for text color is at least
4.5:1.
• Line weight is increased to 1.25pt for
better visibility.
• Type size is increased to 12pt for
better visibility.
• Icons no longer have gradients and
elements are designed to appear on
either white or black backgrounds for
optimal contrast and visibility.
Color Palette
• We updated our palette to align with the
Brand Team.
• White | #FFFFFF | 21.00

4. Release 16-2023.04.28: Questions you might have
Why are there new colors?
The AWS Brand Team has introduced a new color palette, and we
have applied it to our categories to meet accessibility standards.
What happened to the blue category color?
We are deprecating the blue to reduce the oversaturation on the
AWS site. From now on, blue will only be used for UI purposes,
such as text links.
What happened to all the EC2 instances?
Because the previous instance icons included the instance type as
part of the image, they were neither accessible nor localizable.
We now provide a single generic instance icon that contains no text.
Use this icon for all instances, and specify the instance type in the
label, as noted on slide 52.
Are there different colors for light and dark backgrounds?
No, the new colors are accessible for both light and dark
backgrounds, so you can use the same elements in either case.
What are we working on next?
We will continue to work on our accessibility goals by simplifying
icons and removing icons with text baked in. This will be a project
accomplished in phases.

7. About AWS Architecture Icons
Architecture diagrams are a great way to
communicate your design, deployment, and topology.
In this deck, you will find an official collection of AWS
service icons, resource icons, additional assets and
guidelines. These tools will help you build customer-
focused and consistent AWS architecture diagrams.
Customers and partners can use AWS icons to create
architecture diagrams. The icons are basic in design
so that you can incorporate them directly into your
whitepapers, presentations, datasheets, posters, or
any technical material that you want.
© 2023, Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its affiliates. 7

8. Before You Begin:

13. Building a Diagram
13
1. Choose your deck style.
The architecture deck is available for both light and dark backgrounds. Determine which best fits your
need – light backgrounds tend to be used on the web, while dark backgrounds are used for in-person
presentations or slide decks.
2. Start with the structure.
Locate the groups (see slides 25-26) to use for the underlying structure of your diagram.
3. Add architecture service or resource icons.
If you downloaded the asset package from the AWS Architecture Center, you can search for your icon from
your folder. Simply drag & drop or insert wherever you are building your diagram.
4. Connect the steps.
Use the preset arrows to connect your steps and describe a workflow.
5. Add any final touches.
You can use numbers to help convey a specific order within your diagram (see slide 18).
© 2023, Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its affiliates.

14. Groups
Each group consists of an icon and a label. Colors and lines help to differentiate groups to make it easier for the
user to read a diagram at a glance. Some groups cross multiple groups, such as Auto Scaling, while others are
meant to nest inside another, such as a VPC and subnets.
Resizing groups
Use the bottom-right corner of a group box
to resize it.
Nested groups
When you have groups within groups, inner
groups should have at least .05" buffer on
all sides.
© 2023, Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its affiliates. 14
Virtual private cloud (VPC)
DO:
DON’T:
• Use a generic group type if the presets do
not suit your needs.
• Add a custom group if needed
(see slide 26).
• Create groups with nonapproved
AWS icon(s).
• Resize group icons.
Public subnet

15. Icons
Architecture service and resource icons are designed to be used on both light and dark backgrounds.
You can find the icons in the assets package download or in the PowerPoint presentation.
Resizing icons
All icons in this deck are SVGs, allowing them to be scaled up or down only when used in
presentations. To preserve icon integrity, be sure to hold down Shift while resizing.
For diagrams, use icons at their predefined size and do not resize.
© 2023, Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its affiliates. 15
DO:
DON’T:
• Use icons at their predefined size, color
and format in diagrams.
• Scale icons as needed for use in
presentations.
• Hold down Shift while resizing.
• Crop service icons.
• Flip or rotate icons.
• Change icon shapes.

16. Arrows
Use arrows or lines to connect parts of a diagram or to show a workflow.
Use preset arrows
Copy the preset arrows into your diagram
to maintain the correct formatting. To edit,
click on the arrow and hold down Shift.
Create new arrows
Preset arrows use the “Open Arrow” in
Size 4.
When in doubt, use the default
If the arrow shape that you need is not
available in the sample arrows, use the
default arrows.
© 2023, Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its affiliates. 16
Default Arrow
+ Open Arrow
+ Size 4
DO:
DON’T:
• Use the preset arrows provided in the
Elements section.
• Use straight lines and right angles to
connect objects wherever possible.
• In the instance where right angles are not
possible, you may use a diagonal line as
provided.
• Use anything beside preset or default
arrows.
Hold Shift

17. Icon Labels
The icon and label are separated to allow for adjustment or abbreviation. All label text should be
12pt Arial throughout the diagram. General icons are flexible and their labels can be customized for
your use-case. For example, the general “User” icon for Storage can also be used as “Profile” for
Games.
Name wrapping and line breaks
AWS service names must fit on no more than two lines. AWS or Amazon should always be
accompanied by the service name. Lines should never break mid-word.
Short forms
To save space when using a service multiple times in a diagram, you may use the short service forms
instead of the full name. For example, Amazon EC2, instead of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud.
© 2023, Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its affiliates. 17
Amazon QuickSight Amazon
QuickSight
Amazon
Quick-
Sight
Lines should never break mid-word, and
should fit on two lines max.
Amazon should be on the same line
as the first word in the service name.
DO:
DON’T:
• Break a line after the second word in the
service name if necessary.
• Use short forms without first mentioning
the full service name somewhere in the
document.
• Duplicate short forms for different services,
such as ELB for Elastic Beanstalk and
Elastic Load Balancing.
• Break a line in the middle of a word.

18. Numbered Callouts
Use numbered callouts to draw attention to steps in a process within a diagram (as shown on slide 21).
Callouts are white with bold black type so that they stand out among the colored service and resource icons
in the diagram. Consult with your team to see if you can use numbered callouts.
Large callouts
For a simple diagram, you can use large callouts.
Small callouts
For a complicated diagram, you can use small callouts.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
DO:
DON’T:
• Use callouts at their predefined size, color
and format.
• Order your numbers as linearly as
possible, such as left to right, top to
bottom, or clockwise.
• Be as consistent as possible in placement
of the callouts.
• Mix callout sizes within the same diagram.
• Change color or font size within the callout.
• Use letters or other symbols.
• Manually size or stretch the callout shape.
• Create new callout shapes.

In certain AWS Regions (e.g., China), AWS does not own the rights for the logo
using the letters “AWS.” Per our guidelines, use the group with the AWS logo
except in Regions where the AWS logo cannot be used. You may use the group
with the cloud icon in those cases.

Serverless is a way to describe the services that enable you to build and run applications without thinking
about servers. AWS has serverless services for all layers of your stack. In many public forums, like our
marketing website, we list these services under the Serverless heading because it improves discoverability.
When it comes to building an architecture diagram, it’s more intuitive to use a functional categorization. Please
find the architecture icon for each serverless service in its functional category. You can use the serverless
category icon to describe serverless applications or architectures.
