Nike Logo Cost Just $35
A useless piece of information - the Nike 'Swoosh' logo cost just $35 (equivalent to $184 today #).
It was designed by graphic design student Carolyn Davidson in 1971 and for her services she charged $35 at a rate of $2/hour.
Phil Knight, the company's co-founder, repaid her in 1982 with a gold Swoosh ring and an unknown amount of Nike stock.

The logo Nike is not so simple: for a professional logo you must draw the structure-lines for the "ripetibility" and in a sinuous communication artifact like the swoosh is a complicated procedure, without computer is sooooo complicated.
