Flip, please get your facts right before you post them as you're not coming across at all credible. A simple online search can confirm the story below with the Nike Swoosh:
The SWOOSH logo is a graphic design created by Caroline Davidson in 1971. It represents the wing of the Greek Goddess NIKE. Caroline Davidson was a student at Portland State University in advertising. She met Phil Knight while he was teaching accounting classes and she started doing some freelance work for his company. Phil Knight asked Caroline to design a logo that could be placed on the side of a shoe. She handed him the SWOOSH, he handed her $35.00. In spring of 1972, the first shoe with the NIKE SWOOSH was introduced.....the rest is history! (from Nike Consumer Affairs packet, 1996)

According to Nike's account of the story, Knight wasn't initially that keen on Davidson's graphic design. He adopted the logo anyway, saying "I don't love it, but it will grow on me." Davidson charged Knight $35 for the design.
zook you might be right and from what the internet says you are i am only going off the knowledge i learned from the sign council years ago no college but 12 yrs later i am stronger than ever so you found one fault in me kudos to you i learned this back then and stayed with it. so it was a flaw oh well but my work ever since has surpassed anything that is avaialable. cost my quote is like may others is if you dont look good then i dont. i might not have a B.S in marketing and thank god cause i also dont have that nut every month but i do have one thing the sense of what works and that is what is worth more than words or design and also how it is created
all i have to say is why did you have to google nike? nike is a staple in marketing and design from a simple little swoosh. having a bs in marketing that comes up alot
i only see alot of discrepences in nike's logo and actually find the person i chatted with alot more honest that what is a story!
