These are the words used to describe the “Swoosh” in the Nike logo that has become one of the most recognized symbols in the world. Nike's first logo design was designed by Carolyn Davidson in 1971 for just $35. Phil Knight, founder of Blue Ribbon Sports, Inc., hired Davidson to design a logo for a shoe stripe. Though the design did not enthrall Knight due to time constraints, the Nike ‘Swoosh’ logo was selected.
The Nike SWOOSH logo represents the wing in the famous statue of the Greek Goddess of victory, Nike, who was the source of inspiration for many great and courageous warriors. According to legends, a Greek would say, "When we go to battle and win, we say it is Nike." Originally, the mark was referred to as ‘the strip’ but was later changed to ‘Swoosh’ to describe the fibres used in Nike shoes. In the spring of 1972, the first shoe with the Nike SWOOSH Logo was introduced. They get promoted by world famous wearing their brand in adverts or while on TV.
