me i need a synonym for iconic

Historic/traditional.

Explanation:

"Millions of users attempted to log into twitter only to be greeted by the services iconic "fail whale," the image of a cartoon whale being hoisted into the air by a flock of birds, signaling a site outage."

Based on the passage, it is evident that whenever the twitter site crashed, the image came up which has become famous and well known by now. And with that, the already famous image of the "fail whale" greeted anyone trying to access it. In order to change the word "iconic" into another word but still retain the meaning and status of the replaced word, the synonym "historic or traditional" will be best. "Iconic" suggests something that's super famous and capable of exuding awe and grandeur, which "historical/ traditional" can also do.

So, the word "iconic" can be replaced by "historical/traditional".

invention of the washing machine

in the past, people used sticks and stones or scrub boards to clean their clothing. as it was sweaty, backbreaking work, we owe a world of to james king because he created the model for the modern washing machine in 1851. the most important issue was that this machine cleaned clothes while a person cranked the handle. doing this made people who used it develop strong muscles in their arms. later, in 1908, alva j. fisher created an electric washing machine named thor. this one was not the first automatic washing machine. however, it was one of the most popular models at the time.
