Adding to what Tim and Glen said, if the icon has writing on it, then the accessible name should match it. For instance, if the icon includes "Create" as part of the image, then use "Create" for the aria-label. If it doesn't match, for instance if it says "Award", and the label is "Create" then a voice user (such as Dragon) will have trouble getting to it.
