Carolyn Davidson was a graphic design student at Portland State University when Phil Knight, who was then teaching accounting part-time, asked her to create a logo for his fledgling shoe company.
She billed the project at $2 per hour and received a total of $35 for her work. The design she produced would eventually become the iconic Nike swoosh.
Twelve years later, in 1983, Knight invited Davidson to a company event and surprised her with a special gift: a gold ring featuring the swoosh logo set with a diamond, along with an envelope containing 500 shares of Nike stock.
Over time, those shares grew in value and are now worth millions of dollars.

Watch Stephen A. Smith win over Bill Maher’s audience with a brutal response to the Olympics banning trans athletes from women’s sports.
MAHER: “I imagine this is going to be… another [issue] where you can make Democrats die on the hill that they died on last time.”
SMITH: “If it’s an issue within the Democratic Party, that’s their own damn problem.”
“Biological men should not be competing against biological girls in sports, PERIOD.”
“I don’t want to get in the way of anybody’s civil rights, civil liberties, or anything like that. But what about protecting the young ladies? Young ladies going up against men, you know, biological men. There is no excuse for that.”
“And by the way… Lia Thomas (the swimmer) was ranked over 400th in the world.”
“And then he became a she… and NUMBER ONE!”
“Well, damn it. Does it really take an Einstein to realize that there’s something wrong with that picture?!”
[Bill Maher and the room break out in laughter]
“I mean, are we kidding ourselves?!”
@steve_carlson17 My daughter played at the Lakeview arena … I remember looking at the pics and stats of three brothers that played for the iron rangers .
Strong words from Cam Ward
