Custom symbols

I'd like to be able to import a data set, and have the symbol displayed on the map be a colored circle having a two mile radius. I can't figure out how to do that. Is there a simple, or even relatively simple, way to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance.

A custom symbol will not really work because the radius will be different based on the zoom level of the map. Here is sample code to add a 2 mile radius shape

Code:
Dim objmap As MapPoint.Map
Set objmap = GetObject(, "MapPoint.Application").ActiveMap
Set objFindResults = objmap.FindAddressResults(, , , , "20817", geoCountryUnitedStates)
objmap.AddPushpin objFindResults(1).Location, "My Pushpin"

Dim aShape As MapPoint.Shape
Set aShape = objmap.Shapes.AddShape(geoShapeRadius, objFindResults(1).Location, 4, 4)
aShape.Line.ForeColor = vbGreen
aShape.Fill.ForeColor = vbRed
aShape.Fill.Visible = True
