    The NIKE logo, the SWOOSH, found on most NIKE shoes and apparal and other products, is a graphic desigh created by Caroline Davidson in 1971. The SWOOSH represents the wing of the Greek Goddess NIKE (pronounced NI-KEY)
    Caroline met Phil Knight(the founder of NIKE) while she was teaching an accounting class. She started doing some freelance work for his company. Caroline was asked to design a logo to fit on a side of a shoe. She came up with the SWOOSH. In return Phil Knight gave her $35 bucks.

    The first shoe with the SWOOSH logo came out in the spring of 1972
