I'm trying to make a pin icon, like a map pin.

I have a V shape as a path at the bottom, and a circle object above it, that has been trimmed.

How can I join these two together? If I use the unite tool it just deletes the V path.



The image above shows the paths - I have moved the circle bit up a touch for clarity.

Thanks!

Forget about Pathfinder or joining or any of that.... it seems you may be over-thinking this.

It's vector, right? All you need is one more anchor on the circle path, that's it.

Use the Pen Tool to add an anchor on the bottom circle path. Then use the Direct Selection Tool to click and drag that anchor downward creating the arrow.

Then delete that angle path, it's not needed.

Use two closed shapes; using the polygon and circle tools instead of a path and shape. Combine the shapes using the unite option in the Pathfinder palette.
