			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since the release of the iPhone it&#8217;s been very popular not only for users  but for application programmers,  here in this tutorial, we&#8217;re gonna show you how to make a proper<a href="http://www.apple.com/iphone/"> iPhone</a> styled icon.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-153" title="step1" src="http://www.logobang.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/step1.jpg" alt="step1" width="380" height="205" /></p>
<p>1. Draw a square with the Rounded Rectangle tool.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-154" title="step2" src="http://www.logobang.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/step2.jpg" alt="step2" width="380" height="205" /></p>
<p>2. Fill the shape with a 90 degree Linear gradient with 3 different shades, make sure the darkest shade is on top while the lightest shade is at the bottom.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-155" title="step3" src="http://www.logobang.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/step3.jpg" alt="step3" width="380" height="205" /><br />
3.  Make a copy of the shape and draw an ellipse above that shape. Make sure the ellipse is centered vertically with the rounded square.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-156" title="step4" src="http://www.logobang.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/step4.jpg" alt="step4" width="380" height="205" /><br />
4. Select both shapes and divide them by using the Pathfinder tool.</p>
<p>5. Delete the bottom part of the divided rounded square and the top part of the ellipse.</p>
<p>6. Select the remaining part of the divided shape as well as the original rounded square, make sure the they are aligned horizontally and at the top using the align tool.<br />
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-157" title="step5" src="http://www.logobang.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/step5.jpg" alt="step5" width="380" height="205" /><br />
7. Fill the newly formed top of the square with a black and white gradient, make sure the gradient is a linear at -90 degrees and that Hard Light is selected for the transparency.<br />
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-158" title="step6" src="http://www.logobang.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/step6.jpg" alt="step6" width="380" height="205" /><br />
8. Select the main square and add a think stroke to it.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-159" title="step7" src="http://www.logobang.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/step7.jpg" alt="step7" width="380" height="205" /></p>
<p>9. Import your desired logo.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-160" title="step8" src="http://www.logobang.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/step8.jpg" alt="step8" width="380" height="205" /><br />
10. Select the top portion of the rounded square and bring it to the front.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-152" title="step9" src="http://www.logobang.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/step9.jpg" alt="step9" width="380" height="205" /><br />
11. This is how your final icon should look, minus the reflection, which we will cover in another tutorial.</p>
