Why the Black Swan?
Speaking of “the Black Swan” the emblem of SEA Inc. (as the symbol of its existence), represents the impossible dream into a possible one. According to the existing records of history and beliefs as presumed, all swan has a feather color white. This proved the Theory that Black Swan does not exist. However, in 1697, a Dutch explorer led by Willem de Vlamingh became the first Europeans to see black swans, in Western Australia. The term (Black Swam) subsequently metamorphosed to connote the idea that a perceived impossibility might later be disproved or become possible. This was true and similar to SEA Inc.’s experience in successfully making its first existence against all odds.
