Amortization expense was $72.0 million, $66.2 million, and $62.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively.
During 2017, we revised our estimate of the economic useful life of our trade name intangible asset from an original life of 10 years to a remaining life of 2 years. The decrease in the useful life represents the estimated length of time that it is expected to take to transition the branding of our Property business from the ASI trade name to the Progressive brand. As of December 31, 2018, the remaining average life of all of our intangible assets was 3.9 years.
The estimated aggregate amortization on these intangible assets for each of the next five years as of December 31, 2018, is as follows:
