ambigram words
An ambigram is a expression, talent or other symbolic representation whose elements retain interpretation when looked at or interpreted from a different route, perspective, or orientation.
The meaning of the ambigram may either change, or continue to be the same, when interpreted or seen from different perspectives.
Douglas R. Hofstadter describes an ambigram as a "calligraphic design that manages to press two different readings in to the selfsame set of curves." Different ambigram musicians and artists (sometimes called ambigramists) may create completely different ambigrams from the same expression or words, differing in both form and style.
Popularity and discovery
The initial known non-natural ambigram schedules to 1893 by designer Peter Newell. Although better known for his children's literature and illustrations for Mark Twain and Lewis Carroll, he shared two books of invertible illustrations, in which the picture turns into a different image totally when turned upside down. The past page in his book Topsys & Turvys provides the phrase THE final end, which, when inverted, reads PUZZLE. In Topsys & Turvys #2 2 (1902), Newell ended with a deviation on the ambigram in which THE END changes into PUZZLE 2.
The Verbeek strip "The UpsideDowns of old man Muffaroo and little girl Lovekins" used ambigrams in 3 consecutive pieces in March,1904, but usually the format of the strip avoided the utilization of phrase balloons.
From to September June, 1908, the British regular The Strand publicized some ambigrams by differing people in its "Curiosities" column. Of particular interest is the actual fact that all four of the individuals submitting ambigrams assumed them to be always a exceptional property of particular words. Mitchell T. Lavin, whose "chump" was released in June, had written, "I think it is in the only word in the English language which includes this peculiarity," while Clarence Williams published, about his "Bet" 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 company logo, today which continues to be in use. The mirror ambigram DeLorean Motor Logo design was first used in 1975.
John Langdon and Scott Kim each believed that they had created ambigrams in the 1970s also. Langdon and Kim are probably the two artists who have been most responsible for the popularization of ambigrams. John Langdon produced the first mirror image custom logo "Starship" in 1975. Robert Petrick, who designed the invertible Angel company logo in 1976, was an early effect on ambigrams also.
The initial known published mention of the word ambigram was by Hofstadter, who attributed the origin of the expressed word to conversations among a small group of friends during 1983-1984. The original 1979 edition of Hofstadter's G?del, Escher, Bach highlighted two 3-D ambigrams on the cover.
Ambigrams became more popular therefore of Dan Brown incorporating John Langdon's designs in to the story of his bestseller, Angels & Demons, and the Dvd movie release of the Angels & Demons movie consists of a bonus chapter called "That is an Ambigram". Langdon also produced the ambigram that was used for a few variants of the book's cover. Brown used the name Robert Langdon for the hero in his books as an homage to John Langdon.
In music, the Grateful Deceased have used ambigrams several times, including on their albums Aoxomoxoa and North american Beauty.
Inside the first series of the British isles show Treat or Trick, the show's number and creator Derren Dark brown uses credit cards with rotational ambigrams. These cards can read either 'Trick' or 'Treat'.
Although the words spelled by most ambigrams are short long relatively, one Movie cover for The Princess Bride movie creates a rotational ambigram out of two words: "Princess Bride," whether viewed right side or ugly up.
The Transformers movie series have logos that are a robot face whether looked at right area up or ugly. A couple of two such logos, one for an Autobot, and one for a Decepticon.
In 2015 iSmart's custom logo using one of its travel chargers gone viral because upside-down it read "+Jews!" The company known that "...we learned a powerful lesson of what not to do when making a logo."
Types of Ambigram
Ambigrams are exercises in graphical design that play with optical illusions, symmetry and aesthetic belief. Some ambigrams feature a marriage between their form and their content. Ambigrams usually belong to one of several categories:
3-Dimensional
- A design where an object is offered that can look to read several words or words when seen from different angles. Such designs can be produced using constructive sound geometry.
Chain
- A design in which a expression (or sometimes words) are interlinked, forming a repeating string. Characters are usually overlapped and therefore a phrase begins partway through another phrase. 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 where the spots between the characters of one expression form another word.
Fractal
- A version of space-filling ambigrams where the tiled phrase 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 reflected in a reflection, as the same word or term both ways usually. Ambigrams that form different words when viewed in the mirror are also called glass door ambigrams, because they can be printed on the wine glass door to be read differently when exiting or coming into.
Multi-Lingual
- An ambigram that may be read one of the ways in a single words and other ways in another type of terms. Multi-lingual ambigrams can exist in all of the many varieties of ambigrams, with multi-lingual perceptual switch ambigrams being attractive specifically.
