DMTGalina: Ambigram One word that when flipped becomes another wordhttps://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj_boyleai3fxvLSoOVYUdVyq70FIezFxTfKKuLmjrmGCm7r8z7Y-SaC4mFRW93jWVmSk7LKm1lmIR-6x-q61aARuIx54br4vtXj-Mvw8iShoCQ-rEAVKD4B_oixpXUFaVBhUYDydRSa-6/s1600/9galinaambi.jpg
ambigram words
An ambigram is a word, talent or other symbolic representation whose elements retain interpretation when interpreted or seen from another direction, perspective, or orientation.
The meaning of the ambigram might either change, or continue to be the same, when viewed or interpreted from different perspectives.
Douglas R. Hofstadter details an ambigram as a "calligraphic design that manages to squash two different readings into the selfsame group of curves." Different ambigram music artists (sometimes called ambigramists) may create very different ambigrams from the same term or words, differing in both form and style.
Discovery and popularity
The earliest known non-natural ambigram dates to 1893 by designer Peter Newell. Although better known for his children's books and illustrations for Make Twain and Lewis Carroll, he posted two literature 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 FINISH, which, when inverted, reads PUZZLE. In Topsys & Turvys #2 2 (1902), Newell concluded with a variation on the ambigram in which THE final end changes into PUZZLE 2.
The Verbeek remove "The UpsideDowns of old man Muffaroo and little woman Lovekins" used ambigrams in 3 consecutive pieces in March,1904, but normally the format of the remove prevented the utilization of phrase balloons.
From to September June, 1908, the English regular The Strand printed a series of ambigrams by differing people in its "Curiosities" column. Of particular interest is the fact that four of individuals submitting ambigrams thought them to be a unusual property of particular words. Mitchell T. Lavin, whose "chump" was shared in June, had written, "I think it is in the only expression in the British language which has this peculiarity," while Clarence Williams published, about his "Guess" ambigram, "Possibly B is the one letter 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 Logo design was first found in 1975.
John Langdon and Scott Kim also each presumed that they had developed ambigrams in the 1970s. Langdon and Kim are probably the two artists who've been most responsible for the popularization of ambigrams. John Langdon produced the first reflection image custom logo "Starship" in 1975. Robert Petrick, who designed the invertible Angel custom logo in 1976, was an early on impact on ambigrams also.
The initial known published reference to the word ambigram was by Hofstadter, who attributed the origin of the word to conversations among a tiny group of friends during 1983-1984. The initial 1979 edition of Hofstadter's G?del, Escher, Bach featured two 3-D ambigrams on the cover.
Ambigrams became popular therefore of Dan Dark brown incorporating John Langdon's designs in to the story of his bestseller, Angels & Demons, and the DVD release of the Angels & Demons movie consists of a bonus chapter called "This is an Ambigram". Langdon also produced the ambigram that was used for some variations 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 Deceased have used ambigrams many times, including on the albums American and Aoxomoxoa Beauty.
In the first series of the English show Treat or Trick, the show's number and inventor Derren Dark brown uses cards with rotational ambigrams. These credit cards can read either 'Strategy' or 'Treat'.
Although what spelled by most ambigrams are relatively short in length, one Dvd and blu-ray cover for The Princess Bride movie creates a rotational ambigram out of two words: "Princess Bride-to-be," whether viewed right area or ugly up.
The Transformers movie series have logos that are a automatic robot face whether viewed right aspect up or ugly. There are two such logos, one for an Autobot, and one for a Decepticon.
In 2015 iSmart's logo design using one of its travel chargers gone viral because upside-down it read "+Jews!" The company noted that "...we learned a powerful lessons of what never 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 belong to one of the categories:
3-Dimensional
- A design where an thing is shown that can look to learn several words or words when viewed from different perspectives. Such designs can be generated using constructive sound geometry.
Chain
- A design where a phrase (or sometimes words) are interlinked, building a repeating chain. Characters are usually overlapped and therefore a term will start partway through another expression. 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 spots between the letters of 1 word form another portrayed expression.
Fractal
- A version of space-filling ambigrams where in fact the tiled expression branches from itself and then shrinks in a self-similar manner, forming a fractal. See Scott Kim's fractal of the word "TREE" for an animated example.
Mirror-image
- A design that can be read when mirrored in a reflection, usually as the same term or term both ways. Ambigrams that form different words when viewed in the mirror are also known as 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 a method in one words and another real way in a different language. Multi-lingual ambigrams can exist in every of the many varieties of ambigrams, with multi-lingual perceptual shift ambigrams being particularly striking.
