My Blog Post




Pop culture is what is happening now and may last for years to come, also for the individual who find whatever it is that makes happy relevant. What is means to me is history and memories; I have always found if fascinating about how pop culture come to be and how far will this go as far as popularity. It important in the business environment because the knowledge will help keep up with what the latest and greatest technology and to maintain that knowledge for furthering ones career.
I chose the Nike symbol (called Swoosh) as an example of pop culture artifact because when you think of sports, clothing, shoes and really just about everywhere you look, one can't help but to see the "Swoosh". The Swoosh is a corporate trademark created in 1971 by Carolyn Davidson, a graphic design student at Portland State University. In 1972 the first running shoes bearing the Swoosh was introduced at the U.S. Track and Field Olympic Trials in Eugene, Oregon.

  2. The Nike Swoosh is the "symbol" that is more familiar with any culture in the world. Most times when you see that symbol it embodies greatness, because of some of the athletes the company have had endorse their products.
