Steps of creating my symbol

The symbol i created was designed using Adobe Illustrator CS2.

Step 1: The ice cap was created using the pencil tool and the line segment tool.

Step 2: Next i created the melting part using the pencil tool.

Step 3: Flames were created using the arc tool.

Step 4: Next, i colored the shapes using the gradient tool

Step 5: A shadow effect of the flame was added by duplicating the original path of the flame. I filled the duplicated flame with white and set the opacity to 50%. I then resized the shape to make it 85% smaller so that it fitted inside the original flame.

Step 6: Next i added some white bubble shapes to the melting part to give a gel effect.

Step 7: Finally, i created an inner shape in white of the ice cap and set the opacity to 50%.
