In 1971, design student Carolyn Davidson created the now-iconic Nike “Swoosh” logo for just $35. Hired by Phil Knight while at Portland State University, Davidson’s design symbolized motion and referenced Nike—the Greek goddess of victory. Though unsure of it at first, the logo became a global symbol of athletic excellence. Years later, Nike thanked her with company stock, which grew to be worth a fortune, cementing her place in branding history. | History In Pictures

Logos don’t build billion-dollar brands. The Nike Swoosh means nothing on its own. It only works because of the belief behind it: “If you have a body, you are an athlete.” Most businesses jump straight to design. The smart ones build meaning first. Story. Purpose. Action. Branding is the process of manufacturing meaning. Design is how you convey that meaning. #nike #branding #brandidentity #logodesign #brandstrategy

Investing on Instagram: "The Nike “Swoosh” logo — now one of the most iconic symbols on the planet — was created by a graphic design student for just $35 in 1971. Her name was Carolyn Davidson.
