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!
