ambigram words
An ambigram is a indicated phrase, talent or other symbolic representation whose elements hold on to interpretation when seen or interpreted from a different direction, perspective, or orientation.
The meaning of the ambigram may either change, or continue to be the same, when interpreted or viewed from different perspectives.
Douglas R. Hofstadter represents an ambigram as a "calligraphic design that manages to squash two different readings into the selfsame set 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 initial known non-natural ambigram dates to 1893 by artist Peter Newell. Although better known for his children's literature and illustrations for Tag Twain and Lewis Carroll, he shared two literature of invertible illustrations, in which the picture turns into a different image completely when turned upside down. The last page in his publication Topsys & Turvys provides the phrase THE END, which, when inverted, reads PUZZLE. In Topsys & Turvys Number 2 2 (1902), Newell finished with a variation on the ambigram where the 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 normally the format of this remove prevented the utilization of term balloons.
From June to September, 1908, the English regular monthly The Strand printed some ambigrams by differing people in its "Curiosities" column. Of particular interest is the actual fact that all four of individuals submitting ambigrams thought them to be always a rare property of particular words. Mitchell T. Lavin, whose "chump" was shared in June, published, "I think it is in the only word in the English language which includes this peculiarity," while Clarence Williams had written, about his "Wager" ambigram, "Possibly B is the only letter of the alphabet that will produce such an interesting anomaly."
In 1969, Raymond Loewy designed the rotational NEW MAN ambigram logo, which is still used today. The mirror ambigram DeLorean Motor Logo design was first used in 1975.
John Langdon and Scott Kim each presumed that that they had invented ambigrams in the 1970s also. Langdon and Kim are probably 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 logo in 1976, was also an early on influence on ambigrams.
The earliest known published mention of the term ambigram was by Hofstadter, who attributed the origin of the word to conversations among a tiny 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 popular therefore of Dan Brown incorporating John Langdon's designs in to the story of his bestseller, Angels & Demons, and the Movie release of the Angels & Demons movie contains a bonus section called "This is an Ambigram". Langdon also produced the ambigram that was used for some editions 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 many times, including on their albums Aoxomoxoa and North american Beauty.
Inside the first series of the British isles show Halloween, the show's number and creator Derren Dark brown uses credit cards with rotational ambigrams. These credit cards can read either 'Technique' or 'Treat'.
Although the words spelled by most ambigrams are relatively brief long, one DVD cover for The Princess Bride movie creates a rotational ambigram out of two words: "Princess Bride," whether viewed right side up or ugly.
The Transformers movie series have logos that are a robot face whether looked at right area up or upside down. A couple of two such logos, one for an Autobot, and one for a Decepticon.
In 2015 iSmart's brand on one of its travel chargers went viral because upside-down it read "+Jews!" The company observed that "...we learned a powerful lesson of what never to do when creating a company logo."
Types of Ambigram
Ambigrams are exercises in graphic design that play with optical illusions, symmetry and visible understanding. Some ambigrams include a marriage between their form and their content. Ambigrams usually fall under one of several categories:
3-Dimensional
- A design where an object is offered that will appear to read several words or words when viewed from different angles. Such designs can be produced using constructive sturdy geometry.
Chain
- A design in which a expression (or sometimes words) are interlinked, forming a repeating string. Words are usually overlapped and therefore a word will start partway through another expressed phrase. String ambigrams are presented in the form of a circle sometimes.
Dihedral
- A natural mirror-image ambigram consisting of numerical digits.
Figure-ground
- A design in which the spots between your words of 1 expression form another word.
Fractal
- A version of space-filling ambigrams where in fact the tiled phrase 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 expression or saying both ways usually. Ambigrams that form different words when viewed in the mirror are also known as glass door ambigrams, because they could be branded on a glass door to be read in different ways when exiting or entering.
Multi-Lingual
- An ambigram that may be read a proven way in one dialect and other ways in a different language. Multi-lingual ambigrams can exist in every of the various styles of ambigrams, with multi-lingual perceptual switch ambigrams being attractive specifically.
