ambigram words

An ambigram is a term, talent or other symbolic representation whose elements retain meaning when interpreted or viewed from a different path, perspective, or orientation.

The meaning of the ambigram might either change, or remain the same, when interpreted or viewed from different perspectives.

Douglas R. Hofstadter describes an ambigram as a "calligraphic design that manages to squeeze two different readings into the selfsame group of curves." Different ambigram performers (sometimes called ambigramists) may create very different ambigrams from the same phrase or words, differing in both form and style.

Popularity and discovery

The initial known non-natural ambigram dates to 1893 by designer Peter Newell. Although better known for his children's books and illustrations for Tag Twain and Lewis Carroll, he released 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 publication Topsys & Turvys provides the phrase THE final end, which, when inverted, reads PUZZLE. In Topsys & Turvys Number 2 2 (1902), Newell finished with a deviation on the ambigram in which THE END changes into PUZZLE 2.

The Verbeek remove "The UpsideDowns of old man Muffaroo and little girl Lovekins" used ambigrams in 3 consecutive strips in March,1904, but normally the format of this strip averted the utilization of expression balloons.

From to September June, 1908, the British isles regular monthly The Strand published some ambigrams by different people in its "Curiosities" column. Of particular interest is the actual fact that four of people submitting ambigrams assumed them to be always a unusual property of particular words. Mitchell T. Lavin, whose "chump" was publicized in June, published, "I think it is in the only term in the English language which has this peculiarity," while Clarence Williams wrote, about his "Bet" ambigram, "Possibly B is the one notice of the alphabet that will produce such an interesting anomaly."

In 1969, Raymond Loewy designed the rotational NEW MAN ambigram custom logo, today which continues to be in use. The mirror ambigram DeLorean Motor Company logo was first found in 1975.

John Langdon and Scott Kim also each presumed that they had created ambigrams in the 1970s. 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 company logo "Starship" in 1975. Robert Petrick, who designed the invertible Angel logo design in 1976, was an early on influence on ambigrams also.

The initial known published mention of the word ambigram was by Hofstadter, who attributed the origin of the word to conversations among a little 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 more popular because of this of Dan Dark brown incorporating John Langdon's designs into the plot of his bestseller, Angels & Demons, and the DVD release of the Angels & Demons movie has a bonus section called "That is an Ambigram". Langdon also produced the ambigram that was used for a few variations of the book's cover. Dark 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 their albums American and Aoxomoxoa Beauty.

Inside the first series of the United kingdom show Treat or Trick, the show's variety and inventor Derren Dark brown uses cards with rotational ambigrams. These credit cards can read either 'Trick' or 'Treat'.

Although the words spelled by most ambigrams are short long relatively, one DVD cover for The Princess Bride-to-be movie creates a rotational ambigram out of two words: "Princess Bride-to-be," whether viewed right part or ugly up.

The Transformers movie series have logos that are a automatic robot face whether seen right aspect up or upside down. You will discover two such logos, one for an Autobot, and one for a Decepticon.

In 2015 iSmart's custom logo on 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 making a company logo."

Types of Ambigram

Ambigrams are exercises in graphical design that play with optical illusions, symmetry and visible understanding. Some ambigrams include a romance between their form and their content. Ambigrams usually fall into one of several categories:

3-Dimensional

A design where an thing is provided that will appear to read several characters or words when seen from different perspectives. Such designs can be made using constructive stable geometry.

Chain

A design in which a expression (or sometimes words) are interlinked, creating a repeating chain. Letters are usually overlapped and therefore a word will start partway through another word. Sometimes chain ambigrams are presented by means of a circle.

Dihedral

A natural mirror-image ambigram consisting of numerical digits.

Figure-ground

A design where the spaces between your characters of 1 expression form another word.

Fractal

A version of space-filling ambigrams where in fact 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 can be read when reflected in a reflection, as the same expression or term both ways usually. Ambigrams that form different words when viewed in the mirror are also called glass door ambigrams, because they could be printed over a glass door to be read differently when entering or exiting.

Multi-Lingual

An ambigram that can be read a proven way in a single dialect and another real way in a new dialect. Multi-lingual ambigrams can exist in all of the many varieties of ambigrams, with multi-lingual perceptual shift ambigrams being particularly striking.
