Nike
Greek goddess who personifies victory.
The "Swoosh" wing-like shape has frequently led people to believe it is inspired by the wing in the famous statue of Nike, the winged goddess of victory. However, according to Nike's historian, the Swoosh was designed in June 1971,by Carolyn Davidson, while the name Nike was not adopted by Blue Ribbon Sports until August of that same year.

The Toyota Yaris is
" The background on the Yaris name is actually really interesting. It stems from a goddess in Greek mythology, named CHARIS, who was a symbol of beauty and elegance. We put that together with the German expression of agreement, YA. We think the name symbolizes the car’s broad appeal in styling and really represents Toyota’s next generation of global cars"

I was going to say Nike but I think it's a male deity (imaginary of course)
how about the Starbuck's logo? not many realize it too is a goddess symbol
how about the Apollo theatre?

I know Nike is one of them. Nike was the Goddess of victory, I believe.

I'm sure there is more than one, but Nike is the one that leaps to mind. I would be surprised if there were not a bunch of other like Aphrodite, Demeter, Hera, etc.
