AWS Icon Set generation for Inkscape

Installation

Download or clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/willthames/aws-inkscape-symbols

Generation of symbols

Download the latest Assets Package from the AWS Simple Icons page

Run:

build.sh /path/to/downloaded.zip

This will create all of the AWS symbols in the target subdirectory

Using the symbols with inkscape

Copy the symbol sets you require to your inkscape configuration directory (e.g. ~/Library/Application\ Support/org.inkscape.Inkscape/config/inkscape/symbols)

The bigger the symbol sets you use, the slower Inkscape seems to be to start up, so just add symbol sets as you need them (if you want to add all of them in that knowledge, feel free!).

References/Inspiration

Thanks to Xaviju for enough pointers to get me started generating a symbol set from the base SVG files that AWS provide

Thanks to jbruce12000 for providing a getting started set of symbols and inspiring me to generate the rest.

Contributions

Please feel free to raise issues or pull requests for improvements. There are some obvious quick wins (e.g. better symbol naming) and some bugs (the SVG that AWS provide for WorkMail doesn't have a <g> element and I haven't bothered addressing that one).

License

This repository is currently offered under the MIT License Different terms almost certainly apply to your usage of the AWS Icon Sets. At the time of writing, AWS haven't explicitly stated those terms

Once those terms become clear, I might start including the symbols alongside the generation code (at which point the license might need to change).
