Swoosh Explanation: here's a pic of it HTH, Serge L. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-07-09 09:02:08 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Hoy día resulta casi imposible presenciar un evento deportivo y no encontrar en el uniforme o calzado de alguno de los protagonistas la presencia de un swoosh. Carente de significado, y con diseño difícil de precisar. see: http://www.producto.com.ve/203/notas/buenpaso.html Reference: http://www.altavista.com/sites/search/mm_res_detail?pg=q&sty... |

peer agreement (net): +1Origen Explanation: Hola Spainz, No sé si lo que buscas es el origen del logo de Nike, pero aparentemente fué creado por un estudiante. Un saludo :o) http://www.ericcarmen.com/biography/may22.html Platform shoes were definitely "in" but a bigger trend was in the making as a small company introduced their first sneaker sporting a logo designed by a student who was paid $35. The Nike "swish" logo is now one of the most widely recognized symbols on earth. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-07-09 10:16:37 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Si lo que buscas es el origen del \"Swish\", aquí tienes la página que te lo explica: http://www.nike.com/nikebiz/nikebiz.jhtml?page=5&item=origin According to Davidson, Knight wanted a design that suggested movement. She let flow the creative juices and came back to him with numerous designs. None captivated his imagination. However, Knight was staring down a deadline. Shoe boxes in Mexico were waiting to be printed. He needed a logo. He needed a decision. So he grabbed her rendering of the Swoosh, telling Davidson, \"I don\'t love it, but it will grow on me.\" Being fresh out of school with a design degree, and hungry for work, Davidson submitted her bill for $35 for the Swoosh design. She continued to design for the newly renamed company Nike, including ads, brochures, posters and catalogues. The company\'s growth was exponential, and there came a point when her one-person design shop was too small to handle Nike\'s advertising needs. Nike and Davidson agreed it was time for a full-service ad agency. |
