ambigram words

An ambigram is a expressed phrase, art form or other symbolic representation whose elements retain interpretation when interpreted or seen from a different path, point of view, or orientation.

The meaning of the ambigram may either change, or continue to be the same, when looked at or interpreted from different perspectives.

Douglas R. Hofstadter details an ambigram as a "calligraphic design that manages to press two different readings into the selfsame set of curves." Different ambigram 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 earliest known non-natural ambigram dates to 1893 by artist Peter Newell. Although better known for his children's books and illustrations for Mark Twain and Lewis Carroll, he shared two catalogs of invertible illustrations, in which the picture turns into a different image entirely when turned upside down. The very last page in his book Topsys & Turvys provides the phrase THE final end, which, when inverted, reads PUZZLE. In Topsys & Turvys Number 2 2 (1902), Newell ended with a variance on the ambigram where the END changes into PUZZLE 2.

The Verbeek strip "The UpsideDowns of old man Muffaroo and little woman Lovekins" used ambigrams in 3 consecutive strips in March,1904, but usually the format of the utilization was avoided by this remove of phrase balloons.

From to September June, 1908, the United kingdom every month The Strand shared some ambigrams by differing people in its "Curiosities" column. Of particular interest is the actual fact that all four of the individuals submitting ambigrams believed them to be a uncommon property of particular words. Mitchell T. Lavin, whose "chump" was printed in June, published, "I think it is in the only word in the British language which has this peculiarity," while Clarence Williams wrote, about his "Choice" ambigram, "Possibly B is the sole letter of the alphabet that will produce this interesting anomaly."

In 1969, Raymond Loewy designed the rotational NEW MAN ambigram emblem, which is still 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 most likely both artists who have been most responsible for the popularization of ambigrams. John Langdon produced the first mirror image logo "Starship" in 1975. Robert Petrick, who designed the invertible Angel company logo in 1976, was an early affect on ambigrams also.

The initial known published reference to the word ambigram was by Hofstadter, who attributed the origin of the word to conversations among a tiny group of friends during 1983-1984. The original 1979 edition of Hofstadter's G?del, Escher, Bach featured two 3-D ambigrams on the cover.

Ambigrams became popular consequently of Dan Brown incorporating John Langdon's designs in to the storyline of his bestseller, Angels & Demons, and the Disc release of the Angels & Demons movie consists of a bonus chapter called "This is an Ambigram". Langdon also produced the ambigram that was used for a few editions 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 many times, including on their albums American and Aoxomoxoa Beauty.

In the first group of the British isles show Treat or Strategy, the show's number and creator Derren Brown uses credit cards with rotational ambigrams. These credit cards can read either 'Strategy' or 'Treat'.

Although the words spelled by most ambigrams are relatively short in length, one Movie cover for The Princess Bride movie creates a rotational ambigram out of two words: "Princess Bride-to-be," whether looked at right aspect or ugly up.

The Transformers movie series have logos that are a robot face whether seen right part up or upside down. You will find 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 observed that "...we learned a powerful lessons of what not to do when making a logo design."

Types of Ambigram

Ambigrams are exercises in graphic design that play with optical illusions, symmetry and visible conception. 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 offered that will appear to learn several words or words when looked at from different angles. Such designs can be produced using constructive sound geometry.

Chain

A design in which a phrase (or sometimes words) are interlinked, forming a repeating chain. Characters are usually overlapped and therefore a expression will start partway through another portrayed expression. Sometimes chain ambigrams are presented in the form of a circle.

Dihedral

An all natural mirror-image ambigram comprising numerical digits.

Figure-ground

A design in which the places between the characters of one term form another portrayed phrase.

Fractal

A version of space-filling ambigrams where the tiled expression 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 may be read when reflected in a mirror, as the same expression or word both ways usually. Ambigrams that form different words when viewed in the mirror are also known as glass door ambigrams, because they can be printed on a glass door to be read differently when entering or exiting.

Multi-Lingual

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