ambigram words
An ambigram is a expression, art form or other symbolic representation whose elements preserve so this means when seen or interpreted from a new direction, perspective, or orientation.
The meaning of the ambigram might either change, or continue to be the same, when looked at or interpreted from different perspectives.
Douglas R. Hofstadter describes an ambigram as a "calligraphic design that manages to press two different readings into the selfsame group of curves." Different ambigram performers (sometimes called ambigramists) may create very different ambigrams from the same expression or words, differing in both style and form.
Popularity and discovery
The earliest known non-natural ambigram dates to 1893 by designer Peter Newell. Although better known for his children's books and illustrations for Draw Twain and Lewis Carroll, he publicized two catalogs of invertible illustrations, in which the picture turns into a different image when turned upside down entirely. The final page in his publication Topsys & Turvys provides the phrase THE FINISH, which, when inverted, reads PUZZLE. In Topsys & Turvys #2 2 (1902), Newell ended with a variation on the ambigram where the END changes into PUZZLE 2.
The Verbeek strip "The UpsideDowns of old man Muffaroo and little female Lovekins" used ambigrams in 3 consecutive strips in March,1904, but often the format of the remove prevented the utilization of term balloons.
From June to September, 1908, the United kingdom regular monthly The Strand publicized some ambigrams by differing people in its "Curiosities" column. Of particular interest is the actual fact that all four of the folks submitting ambigrams assumed them to be a uncommon property of particular words. Mitchell T. Lavin, whose "chump" was printed in June, composed, "I think it is in the only phrase in the English language which has this peculiarity," while Clarence Williams published, 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 company logo, today which is still in use. The mirror ambigram DeLorean Motor Logo design was first used in 1975.
John Langdon and Scott Kim each believed that that they had created ambigrams in the 1970s also. Langdon and Kim are most likely both artists who have been most accountable for the popularization of ambigrams. John Langdon produced the first mirror image emblem "Starship" in 1975. Robert Petrick, who designed the invertible Angel custom logo in 1976, was also an early on influence on ambigrams.
The initial known published mention of 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 initial 1979 edition of Hofstadter's G?del, Escher, Bach featured two 3-D ambigrams on the cover.
Ambigrams became popular because of this of Dan Dark brown incorporating John Langdon's designs into the story of his bestseller, Angels & Demons, and the Dvd and blu-ray release of the Angels & Demons movie is made up of a bonus chapter called "That is an Ambigram". Langdon also produced the ambigram that was used for a few variations 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 several times, including on their albums Aoxomoxoa and North american Beauty.
In the first series of the British isles show Treat or Strategy, the show's sponsor and inventor Derren Dark 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 Dvd movie cover for The Princess Bride-to-be movie creates a rotational ambigram out of two words: "Princess Bride-to-be," whether viewed right aspect or ugly up.
The Transformers movie series have logos that are a robot face whether viewed right aspect up or upside down. There are two such logos, one for an Autobot, and one for a Decepticon.
In 2015 iSmart's brand using 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 aesthetic perception. Some ambigrams include a romantic relationship between their form and their content. Ambigrams usually fall under one of several categories:
3-Dimensional
- A design where an object is shown that will appear to read several characters or words when looked at from different angles. Such designs can be generated using constructive solid geometry.
Chain
- A design where a word (or sometimes words) are interlinked, developing a repeating chain. Characters are usually overlapped meaning that a expression begins partway through another expressed term. 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 your words of 1 phrase form another portrayed word.
Fractal
- A version of space-filling ambigrams where the tiled phrase 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 shown in a reflection, as the same expression or expression both ways usually. Ambigrams that form different words when viewed in the mirror are also known as glass door ambigrams, because they could be printed on the glass door to be read differently when entering or exiting.
Multi-Lingual
- An ambigram that can be read a method in a single words and other ways in another terminology. Multi-lingual ambigrams can exist in all of the many varieties of ambigrams, with multi-lingual perceptual shift ambigrams being particularly striking.
