ambigram words
An ambigram is a indicated word, art form or other symbolic representation whose elements hold on to meaning when seen or interpreted from some other path, point of view, or orientation.
This is of the ambigram might either change, or stay the same, when viewed or interpreted from different perspectives.
Douglas R. Hofstadter explains an ambigram as a "calligraphic design that handles to squash two different readings into the selfsame set of curves." Different ambigram painters (sometimes called ambigramists) may create very different ambigrams from the same phrase or words, differing in both style and form.
Discovery and popularity
The earliest known non-natural ambigram dates to 1893 by artist Peter Newell. Although better known for his children's books and illustrations for Draw Twain and Lewis Carroll, he shared two books of invertible illustrations, in which the picture turns into a different image entirely when turned upside down. The last page in his publication Topsys & Turvys contains the phrase The ultimate end, which, when inverted, reads PUZZLE. In Topsys & Turvys #2 2 (1902), Newell finished with a variance on the ambigram where the END changes into PUZZLE 2.
The Verbeek remove "The UpsideDowns of old man Muffaroo and little female Lovekins" used ambigrams in 3 consecutive pieces in March,1904, but normally the format of the utilization was avoided by this strip of phrase balloons.
From June to September, 1908, the English every month The Strand released some ambigrams by different people in its "Curiosities" column. Of particular interest is the fact that four of people submitting ambigrams believed them to be always a rare property of particular words. Mitchell T. Lavin, whose "chump" was released in June, composed, "I think it is in the only term in the British language which includes this peculiarity," while Clarence Williams had written, about his "Wager" 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 logo design, which is still used today. The mirror ambigram DeLorean Motor Logo design was first found in 1975.
John Langdon and Scott Kim each believed that they had invented ambigrams in the 1970s also. Langdon and Kim are most likely both artists who've been most accountable for the popularization of ambigrams. John Langdon produced the first mirror image custom logo "Starship" in 1975. Robert Petrick, who designed the invertible Angel emblem in 1976, was an early impact on ambigrams also.
The initial known published mention of the term ambigram was by Hofstadter, who attributed the origin of the word to conversations among a little group of friends during 1983-1984. The original 1979 edition of Hofstadter's G?del, Escher, Bach presented two 3-D ambigrams on the cover.
Ambigrams became more popular as a result of Dan Brown incorporating John Langdon's designs into the story of his bestseller, Angels & Demons, and the DVD release of the Angels & Demons movie includes a bonus chapter called "This is an Ambigram". Langdon also produced the ambigram that was used for some variants of the book's cover. Dark 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 several times, including on their albums American and Aoxomoxoa Beauty.
In the first series of the British show Treat or Trick, the show's host and originator Derren Dark brown uses credit cards with rotational ambigrams. These cards can read either 'Trick' or 'Treat'.
Although what spelled by most ambigrams are brief in length relatively, one Movie cover for The Princess Bride-to-be movie creates a rotational ambigram out of two words: "Princess Bride," whether looked at right aspect up or upside down.
The Transformers movie series have logos that are a robot face whether looked at 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 logo using one of its travel chargers gone viral because upside-down it read "+Jews!" The company observed that "...we learned a powerful lesson of what not to do when creating a emblem."
Types of Ambigram
Ambigrams are exercises in graphic design that play with optical illusions, symmetry and visual notion. Some ambigrams feature a romance between their form and their content. Ambigrams usually fall into one of several categories:
3-Dimensional
- A design where an subject is shown that can look to read several characters or words when seen from different sides. Such designs can be made using constructive stable geometry.
Chain
- A design where a word (or sometimes words) are interlinked, creating a repeating string. Letters are usually overlapped and therefore a phrase will start partway through another word. Sometimes chain ambigrams are presented by means of a circle.
Dihedral
- An all natural mirror-image ambigram comprising numerical digits.
Figure-ground
- A design in which the spots between your characters of one 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 mirror, usually as the same term or word both ways. Ambigrams that form different words when viewed in the mirror are also known as glass door ambigrams, because they can be printed on the goblet door to be read in a different way when exiting or joining.
Multi-Lingual
- An ambigram that can be read a proven way in a single terms and one other way in a different language. Multi-lingual ambigrams can exist in all of the many varieties of ambigrams, with multi-lingual perceptual shift ambigrams being particularly striking.

not a real chained ambigram, but two seperate ambigrams of the words
This is a decided improvement over my last attempt , I think.
