The first step to creating your own car symbol is choosing the image that you will edit. Using picture editing software you will need to follow these steps.

This is the image that I choose.

You will need to outline the car shape and white out the background of the image.

Now that the background is white you will need to resize the image to 80 x 80

Then you the to fill in the image background with red (RGB 255,000,000).

Now you have finally completed the prosses, now save it as a .bmp
