Nike

The Nike logo is a classic case of a company gradually simplifying its corporate identity as its frame increases. The company's first logo appeared in 1971, when the word "Nike," the Greek goddess of victory, was printed in orange over the outline of a checkmark, the sign of positivity. Used as a motif on sports shoes since the 1970s, this checkmark is now so recognizable that the company name itself has became superfluous. The solid, orange check was registered as a trademark in 1995.

The following logos hold references to this case: Air Jordan, Nike, Nike Classic (1972)
