She got payed 35 dollars.
Ms Davison told OregonLive that she isn't sure exactly how long designing the swoosh took, but she estimates it was probably more than 17.5 hours.
At the party in her honour in 1983, an early Nike employee joked, 'As everyone here knows, she invented the Nike swoosh and got paid the outrageous sum of $35 bucks for it'.
At the same event, Mr Knight joked, 'When we gave her the $35 we did ask her not to cash it right away'.
Ms Davidson reflected, 'Maybe the price wasn't good at the time, they paid what I charged though, you know.
'I've gotten so many referrals from the people I worked with at the time. Geez it's been great'.
In fact, after graduating, Ms Davidson worked for Nike for several years, until she resigned to spend more time homemaking and to work freelance for a number of clients.
In 1983, Nike was a growing company, and the founders had wanted to do something to recognize Ms Davidson's earlier contribution.
