ambigram words
An ambigram is a word, talent or other symbolic representation whose elements sustain interpretation when seen or interpreted from an alternative route, point of view, or orientation.
The meaning of the ambigram may either change, or remain the same, when looked at or interpreted from different perspectives.
Douglas R. Hofstadter identifies an ambigram as a "calligraphic design that manages to press two different readings in to the selfsame set of curves." Different ambigram performers (sometimes called ambigramists) may create completely different ambigrams from the same phrase or words, differing in both style and form.
Popularity and discovery
The earliest known non-natural ambigram schedules to 1893 by artist Peter Newell. Although better known for his children's catalogs and illustrations for Make Twain and Lewis Carroll, he printed two books 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 contains the phrase The ultimate end, which, when inverted, reads PUZZLE. In Topsys & Turvys Number 2 2 (1902), Newell finished with a variation on the ambigram in which THE last end changes into PUZZLE 2.
The Verbeek strip "The UpsideDowns of old man Muffaroo and little sweetheart Lovekins" used ambigrams in 3 consecutive strips in March,1904, but often the format of the utilization was prevented by this strip of word balloons.
From to September June, 1908, the British every month The Strand printed a series of ambigrams by differing people in its "Curiosities" column. Of particular interest is the fact that four of the individuals submitting ambigrams assumed them to be a unusual property of particular words. Mitchell T. Lavin, whose "chump" was released in June, had written, "I think it is in the only word in the British language which has this peculiarity," while Clarence Williams wrote, about his "Bet" 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 logo, today which continues to be in use. The mirror ambigram DeLorean Motor Logo design was first used in 1975.
John Langdon and Scott Kim each presumed that that they had developed ambigrams in the 1970s also. 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 company logo in 1976, was also an early effect on ambigrams.
The earliest known published reference to 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 initial 1979 edition of Hofstadter's G?del, Escher, Bach presented two 3-D ambigrams on the cover.
Ambigrams became more popular therefore of Dan Dark brown incorporating John Langdon's designs in to the plot of his bestseller, Angels & Demons, and the DVD release of the Angels & Demons movie consists of a bonus section called "This is an Ambigram". Langdon also produced the ambigram that was used for a few variants of the book's cover. Dark 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.
Within the first group of the British show Treat or Technique, the show's web host and creator Derren Brown uses credit cards with rotational ambigrams. These cards can read either 'Technique' or 'Treat'.
Although what spelled by most ambigrams are short in length relatively, one Dvd movie cover for The Princess Bride movie creates a rotational ambigram out of two words: "Princess Bride," whether viewed right side up or upside down.
The Transformers movie series have logos that are a automatic 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 emblem using one of its travel chargers travelled viral because upside-down it read "+Jews!" The ongoing company noted that "...we learned a robust lessons of what never to do when creating a logo design."
Types of Ambigram
Ambigrams are exercises in graphical design that play with optical illusions, symmetry and aesthetic understanding. Some ambigrams feature a romance between their form and their content. Ambigrams usually fall into one of the categories:
3-Dimensional
- A design where an subject is shown that will appear to read several letters or words when seen from different perspectives. Such designs can be generated using constructive sturdy geometry.
Chain
- A design where a word (or sometimes words) are interlinked, developing a repeating string. Characters are usually overlapped meaning that a word will start partway through another expressed phrase. Chain ambigrams are provided in the form of a group sometimes.
Dihedral
- A natural mirror-image ambigram comprising numerical digits.
Figure-ground
- A design in which the spaces between the words of 1 expression form another expressed expression.
Fractal
- A version of space-filling ambigrams where in fact the tiled word branches from itself and then shrinks in a self-similar manner, creating a fractal. See Scott Kim's fractal of the word "TREE" for an animated example.
Mirror-image
- A design that can be read when mirrored in a reflection, as the same expression or word 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 glass door to be read differently when exiting or getting into.
Multi-Lingual
- An ambigram that can be read a method in one terminology and another way in some other language. Multi-lingual ambigrams can exist in all of the many styles of ambigrams, with multi-lingual perceptual shift ambigrams being particularly striking.
