I often use Visio diagams for architecture, and not having a shape for a SSAS server was always annoying. I'd built one out previously, but never took the time to polish it (which mostly meant make the text editable....)Now that I needed one for Tabular mode servers as well, I took the 20 minutes to fix the editable text. Thought this might be useful. You can download the Visio Stencil here

If y'all do find this useful, let me know, I might spend some time adding in SSRS etc.
To use, dead simple: simply add to C:\Users\{UserName}\Documents\My Shapes, then add the stencil in Visio from "More Shapes" --> "My Shapes "
UPDATE: New shapes added for Data Quality Services and Master Data Services
