Brand heritage
Logo history & brand milestones
The 1971 Swoosh and the 1995 move away from the NIKE-in-Swoosh corporate logo, as recorded in the cited sources. Company and product dates are labelled separately from design changes.
Logo milestone · 1971-06-18
Nike first used the Swoosh, created by Carolyn Davidson while she was a graphic design student at Portland State University. She was paid $35. [1] [2]
Visual identity milestone · 1995
Until 1995 the official corporate logo placed the name NIKE in Futura Bold capitals within the Swoosh; since then the Swoosh is most commonly used alone. [2]

Design context
Logo design & typography notes
The Swoosh is said to be inspired by the wings of Nike, the Greek goddess of victory. Knight had asked Davidson for a mark that conveyed motion and did not resemble Adidas’s three stripes.
From the researched record (AI-assisted source review); see research sources.
Researched typography noteUntil 1995 the corporate logo set NIKE in Futura Bold capitals. The Swoosh itself has no lettering.
Logo type: abstract
Logo lettering can differ from a brand’s corporate typefaces.
