# Google Cloud icons

> Page: https://docs.plotwork.dev/cloud-icons/google-cloud. Index of every page: https://docs.plotwork.dev/llms.txt

Every Google Cloud icon Plotwork draws, grouped the way Google groups its product icons, each drawn above its name, with the exact `icon=` to write and the other names that find it. It is for anyone choosing an icon for a Google Cloud service, human or AI agent.

## TL;DR

| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| How do I use an icon? | `icon=gcp:<product>` on a node, for example `node q queue "Pub/Sub" icon=gcp:pubsub`. Put the product name in the label next to it. |
| Which icon is the provider itself? | `gcp:cloud`. A group with `type=account` and `provider=gcp` draws it for you. |
| How are the icons grouped? | Common products first, by kind of service. Then the icons of the official Google Cloud icon set, each under Google's own category. |
| What does an icon look like? | The official Google Cloud icon, drawn as Google publishes it, on a light tile in light and in dark. A few products without an official icon draw their mark from Simple Icons, and the rest draw the glyph of their kind of service. |
| How do I find the name of one product? | Call `search_icons` with the name as the request writes it, or `map_icons` for several. See [Icon names and lookup](https://docs.plotwork.dev/cloud-architecture/icon-names.md). |
| What if the icon I want is missing? | Draw the service with its node type and put its name in the label. Do not invent a name; validation rejects it with the nearest valid one. |
| Where are the terms? | [Trademarks and icons](https://docs.plotwork.dev/trademarks-and-icons.md) quotes what Google says about using its icons. |

## 1. How to read this page

Each group has a heading, a picture of its icons, and a table folded under the picture. The picture is for finding an icon by sight. The table, which opens under "Names, and other names that find each icon", is the exact text: the `icon=` to write, the official product name, and other names that find it with search. Every icon in a picture is in the table under it, in the same order. The first group, common products, shows its table open.

| Group | Icons |
|---|---|
| Common products | 43 |
| Services: Core products | 10 |
| Category icons: Category icons | 26 |
| All groups | 79 |
