Creating a Web Shop Icon


Creating a simple web shop icon (shop trolley) is quite easy now. Lets see how we can make a simplified shop trolley “L” shape (the handle + basis) in Illustrator.

Choose the basis line and copy it twice to get something similar to E shape where the left vertical line end up above the top horizontal line.

Form a vertical line that will close the shape.


As for the wheels, make two circles below the basis of the trolley. Make one ellipse and then a second one, smaller in the middle of the first one. (Do that using Ellipse tool). Choose both ellipses, and subtract them with “Pathfinder -> Subtract from shape area” option.


Copy that wheel and position them under the basis.


Now for the background circle follow the same procedure as for the wheels. One small difference is that holding ALT+TAB will make this ellipse a perfect circle. Colour it, place it behind the trolley. And you are done!
