How do i remove the VPN icon on my top tool bar?

pardon me, i'm a newbie to the macworld.
I played around with VPN and now i have this silly icon on the top right of my screen, next to the wireless icon.

If you open Internet Connect and click on the VPN icon, there is a check box at the bottom you can uncheck.

Alternatively, you can hold down the command key and drag it off with your mouse.
