I actually think that AWS icons are pretty decent. If you’ve used GCP, you know what I’m talking about


Not used GCP...

Is it as bad as the "Google" folder on an android?


GCP has a mix of "that makes sense" (scheduler, run, compute, spanner) to "I can see where they were going" (memorystore, speech) with a smidge of: "that doesn't make any sense/just a fun design that isn't meaningful" (anthos).

Lots of icons are dots or squares that are connected, which of course isn't helpful because that's what nodes in a network actually are in all circumstances.

GCP is (un)fortunately saved by it's relatively low product offering (by AWS's standards at least).
