If I'm not mistaken the Nike logo symbolises the wings of the greek goddess 
Nike. She is the goddess of victory and bringer of good messages.

I agree.

The size was never a problem.

The problem here is that a logo ought to be excellent even without any
explaination.

I agree.

I wrote that, and I still don't know the answer.
Lets start a discussion about it later and finish this discussion first.

Hmm, if more people think your suggestion is better, then we should go with
that one instead. Try to start a new thread where you formulate your
suggestion clearly and ask what people think of it.

OK, it seems like this thread no longer grows now.

It seems to me that people generally think the suggestion is OK.

I have got some positive replies, some with questions which I have trid to
answer, but no directly negative replies (where "negative" simply means "not
agreeing").

So if I get no objections, I will include this in the rules of the contest.
I will wait, say 3 days, so you have time to reply if you have any
objections.

Greetings,

Rune
