@businessblurb: Carolyn Davidson made the Nike swoosh logo for just $35 At the time she was a graphic design student at Portland State University She billed the project at $2 per hour and received a total of $35 for her work. 12 years later, in 1983, Knight invited her to a company event and surprised her with a special gift: a gold ring featuring the swoosh logo and an envelope containing 500 shares of Nike stock. #nike #graphicdesign #design #marketing #money
She also created Bitcoin logo and received 20,000 Bitcoins for that! What a life.😁

Being able to say “I created the Nike logo” is a lifelong portfolio flex for a designer. Hope she held onto that stock because she earned where her work helped take the company.

Those 500 shares would be 64,000 shares today worth $2.6 million. This does not factor in the dividends that she would have been paid out

Even at 2.6 million today that was over 50 years ago. Who gives a fuck? They should pay her or her family quadruple that today. The swoosh is iconic and Nike is worth over 60 billion today
