Hello im confused on where power supplies come from and who makes them. Ive heard seasonic power supplies are what corsair and many other companies base their power supplies on but how come they dont brand them that way? I mean my gpu has a big old nvidia logo on it but its a evga product. How come power supplies dont have a seasonic logo on them? Or is seasonic just the manufacture?

A lot of the hardware in computers are made by little-known companies in China or Taiwan. It's not uncommon for companies in the US or Europe to design components that are then manufactured by these Asian companies.

Corsair is a US company that doesn't manufacture anything itself. Most of their power supplies are manufactured by CWT or Seasonic, but they use other manufacturers too.
Seasonic is a Taiwanese company that manufactures power supplies, but unlike many other manufacturers they also have a presence in the US and Europe, so not all of their power supplies are sold under other names.

Neither AMD nor Nvidia produce their graphics cards, they just design the GPU. The GPU itself is made by TSMC (Taiwanese), and the cards are assembled by various companies and sold by companies like eVGA.
