The guide asked us to stop in front of this stone fragment on our visit to Ephesus in Turkey.
"What does it remind you of?" she asked.
Not being that sporty I didn't see the connection immediately.
But now, I cannot not see it.
According to the guide it was the inspiration for a widely recognised logo.
Do you see it?
It is an image of the Greek winged goddess Nike. She symbolises victory not just in wars but in more peaceful pursuits such as games and athletics. She is renowned for her speed and strength.
I guess the resulting stylised logo ticked all the right boxes.
