ambigram words
An ambigram is a portrayed term, art form or other symbolic representation whose elements sustain meaning when looked at or interpreted from a different direction, perspective, or orientation.
The meaning of the ambigram may either change, or remain the same, when viewed or interpreted from different perspectives.
Douglas R. Hofstadter represents an ambigram as a "calligraphic design that manages to squeeze two different readings into the selfsame set of curves." Different ambigram artists (sometimes called ambigramists) may create completely different ambigrams from the same term or words, differing in both style and form.
Discovery and popularity
The earliest known non-natural ambigram times to 1893 by artist Peter Newell. Although better known for his children's literature and illustrations for Tag Twain and Lewis Carroll, he publicized two books of invertible illustrations, in which the picture turns into a different image totally when turned upside down. The very last page in his book Topsys & Turvys contains the phrase THE FINISH, which, when inverted, reads PUZZLE. In Topsys & Turvys #2 2 (1902), Newell concluded with a variance on the ambigram where the END changes into PUZZLE 2.
The Verbeek remove "The UpsideDowns of old man Muffaroo and little sweetheart Lovekins" used ambigrams in 3 consecutive strips in March,1904, but in any other case the format of the strip averted the use of word balloons.
From to September June, 1908, the British every month The Strand posted some ambigrams by differing people in its "Curiosities" column. Of particular interest is the fact that four of people submitting ambigrams presumed them to be always a rare property of particular words. Mitchell T. Lavin, whose "chump" was shared in June, published, "I think it is in the only word in the English language which includes this peculiarity," while Clarence Williams had written, about his "Choice" ambigram, "Possibly B is really the only notice of the alphabet that will produce such an interesting anomaly."
In 1969, Raymond Loewy designed the rotational NEW MAN ambigram emblem, today which continues to be in use. The mirror ambigram DeLorean Motor Company logo was first found in 1975.
John Langdon and Scott Kim each presumed that they had created ambigrams in the 1970s also. Langdon and Kim are most likely the two artists who have been most accountable for the popularization of ambigrams. John Langdon produced the first mirror image company logo "Starship" in 1975. Robert Petrick, who designed the invertible Angel company logo in 1976, was an early on affect on ambigrams also.
The initial known published reference to the term ambigram was by Hofstadter, who attributed the origin of the expressed word to conversations among a little group of friends during 1983-1984. The initial 1979 edition of Hofstadter's G?del, Escher, Bach presented two 3-D ambigrams on the cover.
Ambigrams became popular therefore of Dan Brown incorporating John Langdon's designs into the story of his bestseller, Angels & Demons, and the Disc release of the Angels & Demons movie contains a bonus chapter called "That is an Ambigram". Langdon also produced the ambigram that was used for some editions of the book's cover. Brown used the name Robert Langdon for the hero in his novels as an homage to John Langdon.
In music, the Grateful Dead have used ambigrams several times, including on their albums Aoxomoxoa and North american Beauty.
Within the first group of the United kingdom show Treat or Strategy, the show's coordinator and originator Derren Brown uses credit cards with rotational ambigrams. These credit cards can read either 'Technique' or 'Treat'.
Although the words spelled by most ambigrams are relatively brief long, one Movie cover for The Princess Bride-to-be movie creates a rotational ambigram out of two words: "Princess Bride-to-be," whether looked at right part or ugly up.
The Transformers movie series have logos that are a automatic robot face whether looked at right aspect up or upside down. There are two such logos, one for an Autobot, and one for a Decepticon.
In 2015 iSmart's emblem using one of its travel chargers proceeded to go viral because upside-down it read "+Jews!" The company observed that "...we learned a powerful lesson of what never to do when making a logo design."
Types of Ambigram
Ambigrams are exercises in graphic design that play with optical illusions, symmetry and aesthetic notion. Some ambigrams feature a marriage between their form and their content. Ambigrams usually belong to one of the categories:
3-Dimensional
- A design where an subject is shown that can look to read several words or words when seen from different sides. Such designs can be made using constructive sturdy geometry.
Chain
- A design in which a term (or sometimes words) are interlinked, developing a repeating chain. Characters are usually overlapped meaning that a term begins partway through another expression. Sometimes chain ambigrams are presented in the form of a circle.
Dihedral
- A natural mirror-image ambigram consisting of numerical digits.
Figure-ground
- A design in which the spots between your words of one expression form another portrayed word.
Fractal
- A version of space-filling ambigrams where the tiled term branches from itself and then shrinks in a self-similar manner, building a fractal. See Scott Kim's fractal of the term "TREE" for an animated example.
Mirror-image
- A design that may be read when shown in a reflection, usually as the same expression or expression both ways. Ambigrams that form different words when viewed in the mirror are also known as glass door ambigrams, because they can be printed on a glass door to be read differently when entering or exiting.
Multi-Lingual
- An ambigram that may be read a method in one vocabulary and another way in another terms. Multi-lingual ambigrams can exist in every of the many varieties of ambigrams, with multi-lingual perceptual shift ambigrams being particularly striking.
