Do you love all things Nike? Make your mark with this Nike logo drawing guide.
Nike's Swoosh symbol logo is iconic. Nike adopted the Swoosh logo in 1971. Interestingly, it was designed by a student, not a professional designer!
The Nike logo cartoon outline consists of the word "NIKE" in all caps along with the Nike Swoosh, a stylized checkmark. Extra lines and shading give the logo a three-dimensional appearance.

Since 1995, the Swoosh has often been used alone without the word Nike alongside it. Why? Brand recognition is that strong - people know they are looking at a Nike product even without the title.
Nike makes a lot of branded products, including shirts, running and basketball shoes, hoodies, and sports equipment. What will you put your Nike logo on?
