ambigram words
An ambigram is a portrayed term, art form or other symbolic representation whose elements retain interpretation when interpreted or looked at from another type of path, perspective, or orientation.
This is of the ambigram may either change, or stay the same, when seen 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 group of curves." Different ambigram designers (sometimes called ambigramists) may create very different ambigrams from the same expression 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 books and illustrations for Make Twain and Lewis Carroll, he shared two catalogs 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 END, which, when inverted, reads PUZZLE. In Topsys & Turvys #2 2 (1902), Newell concluded with a variant on the ambigram in which THE last end changes into PUZZLE 2.
The Verbeek strip "The UpsideDowns of old man Muffaroo and little girl Lovekins" used ambigrams in 3 consecutive whitening strips in March,1904, but otherwise the format of the use was prevented by this strip of term balloons.
From June to September, 1908, the British every month The Strand shared some ambigrams by different people in its "Curiosities" column. Of particular interest is the actual fact that four of folks submitting ambigrams believed them to be always a rare property of particular words. Mitchell T. Lavin, whose "chump" was printed in June, wrote, "I think it is in the only term in the English language which includes this peculiarity," while Clarence Williams composed, about his "Choice" ambigram, "Possibly B is the only real letter of the alphabet that will produce this interesting anomaly."
In 1969, Raymond Loewy designed the rotational NEW MAN ambigram brand, which continues to be in use today. The mirror ambigram DeLorean Motor Company logo was first used in 1975.
John Langdon and Scott Kim also each presumed that they had invented ambigrams in the 1970s. Langdon and Kim are probably the two artists who have been most accountable for the popularization of ambigrams. John Langdon produced the first reflection image company logo "Starship" in 1975. Robert Petrick, who designed the invertible Angel logo design in 1976, was also an early influence on ambigrams.
The earliest known published reference to the word ambigram was by Hofstadter, who attributed the origin of the expressed word to conversations among a little group of friends during 1983-1984. The original 1979 edition of Hofstadter's G?del, Escher, Bach included two 3-D ambigrams on the cover.
Ambigrams became more popular consequently of Dan Brown incorporating John Langdon's designs into the storyline of his bestseller, Angels & Demons, and the DVD release of the Angels & Demons movie has a bonus section called "This is an Ambigram". Langdon also produced the ambigram that was used for some variants of the book's cover. Brownish used the real name Robert Langdon for the hero in his books as an homage to John Langdon.
In music, the Grateful Dead have used ambigrams several times, including on their albums American and Aoxomoxoa Beauty.
In the first group of the United kingdom show Treat or Strategy, the show's variety and inventor Derren Brown uses credit cards with rotational ambigrams. These cards can read either 'Strategy' or 'Treat'.
Although what spelled by most ambigrams are relatively brief in length, one Dvd and blu-ray cover for The Princess Bride movie creates a rotational ambigram out of two words: "Princess Bride," whether looked at right side up or upside down.
The Transformers movie series have logos that are a robot face whether viewed right part up or upside down. You can find two such logos, one for an Autobot, and one for a Decepticon.
In 2015 iSmart's company logo using one of its travel chargers gone viral because upside-down it read "+Jews!" The company observed that "...we learned a robust lessons 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 visual perception. Some ambigrams feature a marriage between their form and their content. Ambigrams usually fall into one of the categories:
3-Dimensional
- A design where an object is presented that will appear to learn several words or words when viewed from different sides. Such designs can be generated using constructive sturdy geometry.
Chain
- A design in which a word (or sometimes words) are interlinked, developing a repeating chain. Characters are usually overlapped meaning that a phrase begins partway through another expression. Chain ambigrams are provided by means of a circle sometimes.
Dihedral
- An all natural mirror-image ambigram consisting of numerical digits.
Figure-ground
- A design in which the areas between the words of 1 phrase form another expressed phrase.
Fractal
- A version of space-filling ambigrams where in fact the tiled phrase branches from itself and then shrinks in a self-similar manner, developing a fractal. See Scott Kim's fractal of the term "TREE" for an animated example.
Mirror-image
- A design that can be read when mirrored in a mirror, 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 imprinted over a a glass door to be read in a different way when exiting or entering.
Multi-Lingual
- An ambigram that may be read one of the ways in one terms and another way in another terms. Multi-lingual ambigrams can exist in all of the various styles of ambigrams, with multi-lingual perceptual shift ambigrams being particularly striking.
