It has a remarkable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/241692\/nikes-sales-by-region-since-2007\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">global revenue<\/a> of around $ 44 billion, and the US revenue is over $ 18.5 billion. The company owns around 102 business divisions globally and employs around 76,000 employees. The brand\u2019s success reflects in its 30% share of athletic shoe sales.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nike_Swoosh\"><\/span>Nike Swoosh<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.logodesignvalley.com\/blog\/what-is-the-nike-swoosh-unveiling-the-history-of-the-iconic-trademark-symbol\/\">What is the Nike Swoosh?<\/a> Is it the logo or its value? The Swoosh logo is a checkmark shape inspired by the Greek Goddess of Victory, Nike, and resembles the Goddess\u2019 wing. Carolyn Davidson designed the logo in 1971 when Phil Knight rebranded Blue Ribbon Sports to Nike and hired her for its logo Design.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.logodesignvalley.com\/blog\/5-design-elements-in-the-nike-swoosh-logo-that-you-must-know\/\">Nike Swoosh<\/a> offers many insights into branding and promotion through the Swoosh logo and different marketing strategies. As discussed, the original design was somewhat different and has undergone many modifications. It is also equally important to review the multiple variations of the Swoosh to determine the flexibility and adaptability of the Swoosh.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nike_Logo_Evolution_Over_the_Years\"><\/span>Nike Logo Evolution Over the Years<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Since its start, the brand has undergone slight alterations in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.logodesignvalley.com\/\">logo design<\/a>, and we will discuss the most crucial ones here. The orange online create <a href=\"https:\/\/www.logodesignvalley.com\/blog\/nike-logo\/\">Nike logo<\/a> that we see today was a more recent modification. Even the black-and-white palette that we recognize was later incorporated.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1971-1978<\/h3>\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3157\" style=\"width: 240px; height: 144px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.logodesignvalley.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/nike-1.png\" alt=\"1971-1978\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.logodesignvalley.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/nike-1.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.logodesignvalley.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/nike-1-300x180.png 300w, https:\/\/www.logodesignvalley.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/nike-1-768x461.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n<p>The original logo design was the Nike Swoosh with the brand name written over it using Cursive Serif typeface. The trademark symbol had a white color fill inside the check mark with a black outline. The fonts used black color back then with bold italic letters.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Nike 1971 Logo, Image Credit: Pinterest<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1978-1985<\/h3>\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3158\" style=\"width: 184px; height: 184px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.logodesignvalley.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/nike-2.png\" alt=\"1978-1985\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.logodesignvalley.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/nike-2.png 300w, https:\/\/www.logodesignvalley.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/nike-2-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n<p>The mingling design and letters were quite confusing in the early days of operations, so they needed to change it. The company resorted to a better option in 1978 with a Futura bold font with italic capital letters. Meanwhile, it also started using the black color design still present in the iconic logo.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1985-1995<\/h3>\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3159\" style=\"width: 119px; height: 212px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.logodesignvalley.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/nike-3-2-577x1024.jpg\" alt=\"1985-1995\" width=\"577\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.logodesignvalley.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/nike-3-2-577x1024.jpg 577w, https:\/\/www.logodesignvalley.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/nike-3-2-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/www.logodesignvalley.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/nike-3-2.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 577px) 100vw, 577px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n<p>The logo lacked color, and competitors were entering the sportswear and athletic shoes industry. For this reason, Nike adopted a color different from black and white in 1985 and used a red and white icon. The new design features a red color box with the name and the swoosh in plain white. The red color represents energy, passion, and courage, while the white reflects the transparency and purity of the brand.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1995-Present<\/h3>\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3160\" style=\"width: 215px; height: 215px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.logodesignvalley.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/nike-4.png\" alt=\"1995-Present\" width=\"533\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.logodesignvalley.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/nike-4.png 533w, https:\/\/www.logodesignvalley.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/nike-4-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.logodesignvalley.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/nike-4-300x300.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n<p>After ten years, the company decided to use the black swoosh for global outreach and acceptance. The business was growing and didn\u2019t want to stimulate ethnic or cultural controversy over its logo. Nike was already successful in gaining audience recognition and brand identity, so they dropped the name from the brand mark. The solo Swoosh was powerful enough to attract and appeal to the audience.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>However, it still uses many variants for branding products and catering to different sports events. The red swoosh, Nike SB logo (skateboarding), Nike Air logo, and the more recent orange <a href=\"https:\/\/www.logodesignvalley.com\/blog\/nike-logo\/\">Nike logo<\/a> are some famous variations of the same Swoosh.
