Nike chose the nike swoosh because they thought that it would best represent them and they also thought it was cool. My dad owns nike so I have many nike shoes but he thought of the swoosh and he told me that he thought it would catch people eye and the word nike means victory and he was a victory in this buissness so he thought that he would use that as his symbol to represent the company. ~Nike Company

The Swish, sometimes called The "Swoosh" was originally designed by Carolyn Davidson in 1971 and bought by Phil Knight of Blue Ribbon Sports for $35.00. Since Blue Ribbon changed its name, and enjoyed unbelievable success, she has been much more richly compensated, and rewarded a gold ring decorated with the swish, centered around a large diamond. A more fanciful story of the origin, is that the swish design is modeled after the headless and armless statue of Nike at Samothrace. The swish is supposed to be representing the motion of the wing.
