SHE MADE THE NIKE LOGO FOR $35. Carolyn Davidson was a graphic design student at Portland State University when Phil Knight, who was then teaching accounting part-time, asked her to create a logo for his fledgling shoe company. “It was my rate ate the time and I was happy to get paid for it” She billed the project at $2 per hour and received a total of $35 for her work. The design she produced would eventually become the iconic Nike swoosh. Twelve years later, in 1983, Knight invited Davidson to a company event and surprised her with a special gift: A gold ring featuring her swoosh logo set with a diamond, An envelope containing 500 shares of Nike stock.

YOU WERE NOT MENT TO SEE THIS VIDEO. THEY THOUGHT THEY ERASED IT. I FOUND IT. Watch it before it is taken down! This is “The Midas Plague,” the 12th episode of Series 1 of the BBC sci-fi anthology series Out of the Unknown (BBC2). It is an adaptation of Frederik Pohl’s 1954 satirical short story (sometimes referenced with a 1956 date in secondary sources) about a future automated society where robots produce endless goods, forcing humans into a cycle of overconsumption with social status ironically tied to how much one must consume (the poor are burdened with the most). It originally aired on 20 December 1965. The original videotape masters were wiped in the early 1970s as part of the BBC’s routine they claimed as a cost-savings measure. Many programmes were routinely erased or discarded once their immediate repeat especially ones that offered “too much thinking”. The wiping policy officially ended around 1978 as home video and archival value became clearer and erasure memory holes became harder until our moment where we assume all is saved. It was long believed lost by many, but the telerecording preserved it. I located and shared a copy as part of my work on the “Great Forgetting” and You Have 5,000 Days series. Some think this is from fan-assembled retelling. But it is not. Read the article and surmise why this video was deemed to be erased. Watch the clip and read the article now, the BBC does not want you to see this. There is a very high chance this Internet Archive will be deleted...

WOW! I was gifted VHS of every CBS Evening News TV broadcast from 1978-1999! I am curating and training AI on realtime contemporaneous insights from this era. My supercut from 1979 is fascinating. This m history connects to our 2026 moment. Same issues—different people.
