ambigram words
An ambigram is a portrayed term, talent or other symbolic representation whose elements sustain interpretation when seen or interpreted from a new route, point of view, or orientation.
This is of the ambigram might either change, or stay the same, when looked at or interpreted from different perspectives.
Douglas R. Hofstadter identifies an ambigram as a "calligraphic design that manages to squeeze two different readings into the selfsame set of curves." Different ambigram performers (sometimes called ambigramists) may create completely different ambigrams from the same expression or words, differing in both style and form.
Popularity and discovery
The earliest known non-natural ambigram dates to 1893 by musician Peter Newell. Although better known for his children's catalogs and illustrations for Mark Twain and Lewis Carroll, he shared two catalogs of invertible illustrations, in which the picture turns into a different image when turned upside down entirely. The very last page in his book Topsys & Turvys provides the phrase THE final end, which, when inverted, reads PUZZLE. In Topsys & Turvys Number 2 2 (1902), Newell concluded with a variant on the ambigram in which THE END changes into PUZZLE 2.
The Verbeek strip "The UpsideDowns of old man Muffaroo and little lady Lovekins" used ambigrams in 3 consecutive pieces in March,1904, but normally the format of the utilization was prevented by this strip of phrase balloons.
From to September June, 1908, the English every month The Strand publicized some ambigrams by differing people in its "Curiosities" column. Of particular interest is the actual fact that four of people submitting ambigrams presumed them to be a uncommon property of particular words. Mitchell T. Lavin, whose "chump" was shared in June, wrote, "I think it is in the only term in the English language which includes this peculiarity," while Clarence Williams wrote, about his "Gamble" ambigram, "Possibly B is the only letter of the alphabet that will produce such an interesting anomaly."
In 1969, Raymond Loewy designed the rotational NEW MAN ambigram custom logo, today which is still in use. The mirror ambigram DeLorean Motor Logo design was first used in 1975.
John Langdon and Scott Kim also each presumed that that they had developed ambigrams in the 1970s. Langdon and Kim are most likely the two artists who have been most in charge of the popularization of ambigrams. John Langdon produced the first mirror image logo "Starship" in 1975. Robert Petrick, who designed the invertible Angel logo design in 1976, was an early influence 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 tiny group of friends during 1983-1984. The original 1979 edition of Hofstadter's G?del, Escher, Bach featured two 3-D ambigrams on the cover.
Ambigrams became popular as a result of Dan Brown incorporating John Langdon's designs into the plot of his bestseller, Angels & Demons, and the Disc release of the Angels & Demons movie has a bonus chapter called "This is an Ambigram". Langdon also produced the ambigram that was used for a few versions of the book's cover. Brown used the real name Robert Langdon for the hero in his novels as an homage to John Langdon.
In music, the Grateful Deceased have used ambigrams many times, including on the albums American and Aoxomoxoa Beauty.
In the first series of the United kingdom show Trick or Treat, the show's web host and inventor Derren Brown uses cards with rotational ambigrams. These cards can read either 'Trick' or 'Treat'.
Although the words spelled by most ambigrams are relatively brief in length, one Movie cover for The Princess Bride movie creates a rotational ambigram out of two words: "Princess Bride," whether looked at right part or upside down up.
The Transformers movie series have logos that are a robot face whether seen right side up or upside down. A couple of two such logos, one for an Autobot, and one for a Decepticon.
In 2015 iSmart's custom logo on one of its travel chargers travelled viral because upside-down it read "+Jews!" The ongoing company known that "...we learned a robust lesson of what not to do when creating a emblem."
Types of Ambigram
Ambigrams are exercises in graphical design that play with optical illusions, symmetry and visible perception. Some ambigrams feature a marriage between their form and their content. Ambigrams usually get caught in one of several categories:
3-Dimensional
- A design where an subject is presented that can look to learn several letters or words when seen from different perspectives. Such designs can be generated using constructive stable geometry.
Chain
- A design in which a expression (or sometimes words) are interlinked, building a repeating chain. Letters are usually overlapped meaning that a phrase will start partway through another word. Chain ambigrams are shown by means of a circle sometimes.
Dihedral
- An all natural mirror-image ambigram consisting of numerical digits.
Figure-ground
- A design where the spaces between the letters of 1 phrase form another expressed 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 word or expression both ways. Ambigrams that form different words when viewed in the mirror are also called glass door ambigrams, because they could be printed on the glass door to be read differently when entering or exiting.
Multi-Lingual
- An ambigram that may be read one of the ways in one dialect and another real way in a new terminology. Multi-lingual ambigrams can exist in every of the various styles of ambigrams, with multi-lingual perceptual switch ambigrams being stunning particularly.
