AWS do put a lot of work into their icons set. That said, we (draw.io) get a lot of direct complains about the icons because:
1) They can't find certain AWS icons (the problem is it's there, they didn't expect it to look like that).
2) They change and move between sets rather a lot. That was more a problem previously, the set hasn't actually changed yet this year.
If there's a designer out there willing to create an alternative set, we're more than willing to add it in and see what people prefer. Probably more constructive than just saying "they are bad", show us something better.
- sleepybrett 8y agoThis is a bullshit answer. Your design language is the worst and cannot be defended. Amazon has literally all the money. Hire a team, give them the mandate and listen to their suggestions/solutions. Asking for spec work is some serious bullshit. "Don't like it, make your own... if we like it we might start using it! Then you can say you built the AWS icons for free, I'm sure that will be great for your career"
- uncoder0 8y agoI think the guy you're replying to is from draw.io a systems diagramming platform and not from Amazon.
- sleepybrett 8y ago... does not change the odor of his answer.
- davidjgraph 8y agodraw.io is an open source project [1], you're suggesting we hire a team to implement the AWS icons? Asking for others to contribute to open source is a generally accepted concept. https://github.com/jgraph/drawio https://github.com/jgraph/drawio
