ambigram words
An ambigram is a term, talent or other symbolic representation whose elements retain so this means when interpreted or viewed from another way, point of view, or orientation.
The meaning of the ambigram might either change, or remain the same, when viewed or interpreted from different perspectives.
Douglas R. Hofstadter represents an ambigram as a "calligraphic design that manages to press two different readings into the selfsame group of curves." Different ambigram painters (sometimes called ambigramists) may create completely different ambigrams from the same term or words, differing in both form and style.
Popularity and discovery
The earliest known non-natural ambigram times to 1893 by musician Peter Newell. Although better known for his children's literature and illustrations for Make Twain and Lewis Carroll, he published two catalogs 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 provides the phrase The ultimate end, which, when inverted, reads PUZZLE. In Topsys & Turvys #2 2 (1902), Newell ended with a deviation on the ambigram where the END changes into PUZZLE 2.
The Verbeek remove "The UpsideDowns of old man Muffaroo and little girl Lovekins" used ambigrams in 3 consecutive whitening strips in March,1904, but usually the format of this remove averted the use of expression balloons.
From to September June, 1908, the British every month The Strand published a series of ambigrams by different people in its "Curiosities" column. Of particular interest is the fact that all four of the people submitting ambigrams believed them to be a exceptional property of particular words. Mitchell T. Lavin, whose "chump" was posted in June, published, "I believe it is in the only phrase in the English language which includes this peculiarity," while Clarence Williams wrote, about his "Choice" 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 brand, today which continues to be in use. The mirror ambigram DeLorean Motor Company logo was first used in 1975.
John Langdon and Scott Kim also each thought that they had developed ambigrams in the 1970s. Langdon and Kim are most likely both artists who have 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 also an early effect on ambigrams.
The earliest known published mention of the term ambigram was by Hofstadter, who attributed the origin of the expressed word to conversations among a small group of friends during 1983-1984. The initial 1979 edition of Hofstadter's G?del, Escher, Bach presented 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 storyline of his bestseller, Angels & Demons, and the Movie release of the Angels & Demons movie includes a bonus section called "This is an Ambigram". Langdon also produced the ambigram that was used for some variants of the book's cover. Brown used the real name Robert Langdon for the hero in his novels as an homage to John Langdon.
In music, the Grateful Dead have used ambigrams many times, including on the albums American and Aoxomoxoa Beauty.
Inside the first group of the English show Halloween, the show's coordinator and inventor Derren Brown uses credit cards with rotational ambigrams. These cards can read either 'Technique' or 'Treat'.
Although the words spelled by most ambigrams are relatively short long, 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 automatic robot face whether looked at right side up or ugly. There are two such logos, one for an Autobot, and one for a Decepticon.
In 2015 iSmart's company logo using one of its travel chargers went viral because upside-down it read "+Jews!" The ongoing company known that "...we learned a powerful lesson of what not to do when creating a brand."
Types of Ambigram
Ambigrams are exercises in graphic design that play with optical illusions, symmetry and visible perception. Some ambigrams feature a romance between their form and their content. Ambigrams usually belong to one of the categories:
3-Dimensional
- A design where an object is shown that can look to read several letters or words when looked at from different angles. Such designs can be generated using constructive sound geometry.
Chain
- A design where a phrase (or sometimes words) are interlinked, developing a repeating string. Words are usually overlapped and therefore a phrase will start partway through another portrayed term. Sometimes chain ambigrams are presented by means of a circle.
Dihedral
- An all natural mirror-image ambigram comprising numerical digits.
Figure-ground
- A design where the places between the characters of 1 word form another portrayed word.
Fractal
- A version of space-filling ambigrams where in fact the tiled expression branches from itself and then shrinks in a self-similar manner, building a fractal. See Scott Kim's fractal of the word "TREE" for an animated example.
Mirror-image
- A design that may be read when mirrored in a mirror, 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 imprinted on a cup door to be read in different ways when exiting or joining.
Multi-Lingual
- An ambigram that can be read a proven way in one dialect and another way in a new language. Multi-lingual ambigrams can exist in all of the various varieties of ambigrams, with multi-lingual perceptual move ambigrams being eye-catching particularly.
