What does DYSWIS mean?

DYSWIS stands for “Do you see what I see?” The elephant logo was chosen as a reference to a parable concerning Blind Men and the Elephant. As the story goes, a group of blind men, each only able to touch one part of the elephant, begin to argue about their diverse descriptions and interpretations of what this object represents for them.
