If you think that the Nike Corporation and the Greek goddess Nike are just a coincidence then you are wrong. Actually Phil Knight based most of the foundation of his corporation around the goddess. "The reason that Phil chose Nike was because he knew that she was the
Greek goddess of victory and he wanted to bring that component to his shoes and
everything associated with this corporation has something to do with goddess (http://www.gods-and-monsters.com/nike-greek-mythology.html, 2011)."
There was also a lot of thought put into Nikes logo. The Nike "Swoosh" is no coincidence either, Phil also put a lot of thought into the logo as well. "The reason that Phil came up this was because the goddess Nike was known for swooping in suddenly and that is where the idea came from for the logo of the Nike Corporation (Fast Facts- Nike, deTraci Regula)."
