To open the Symbols panel, on the Menu bar, Now that the icon background has a color, let's open the Symbols panel. Change the fill color to one of the colors from the color palette created in Paletton earlier. Using the Selection tool, click on the icon background on the Doghouse artboard. Before we do that, et's change the color of the icon's background first. We'll make use of that as we create our last icon. While we could draw a doghouse from scratch, there is a symbol available in Illustrator's Symbols panel that we can modify to look like a dog house. Hannah mentioned that she would like one of the icons to have a doghouse on it. This can be incredibly helpful if we are reusing a specific set of graphics in many different documents. We can also save a collection of symbols and reuse them in other Illustrator documents. One of the benefits of working with symbols is that if one instance of the symbol is edited, all other instances of the symbol will change as well. Illustrator allows us to store an object as a symbol, which allows us to reuse the image as many times as we want without having to copy and paste the image. Sometimes, when creating graphics for the web, we may have a logo or image that we may want to incorporate into several different artboards or files.
