ambigram words
An ambigram is a expressed phrase, art form or other symbolic representation whose elements retain so this means when interpreted or viewed from some other course, point of view, or orientation.
This is of the ambigram might either change, or continue to be the same, when seen or interpreted from different perspectives.
Douglas R. Hofstadter explains an ambigram as a "calligraphic design that manages to squeeze two different readings in to the selfsame group of curves." Different ambigram designers (sometimes called ambigramists) may create completely different ambigrams from the same phrase or words, differing in both form and style.
Popularity and discovery
The earliest known non-natural ambigram schedules to 1893 by musician Peter Newell. Although better known for his children's books and illustrations for Mark Twain and Lewis Carroll, he printed two literature of invertible illustrations, in which the picture turns into a different image when turned upside down entirely. The past page in his book Topsys & Turvys provides the phrase The ultimate end, which, when inverted, reads PUZZLE. In Topsys & Turvys Number 2 2 (1902), Newell finished with a variant on the ambigram in which THE last 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 otherwise the format of the use was avoided by this remove of term balloons.
From June to September, 1908, the United kingdom regular The Strand printed some ambigrams by differing people in its "Curiosities" column. Of particular interest is the fact that all four of the individuals submitting ambigrams believed them to be a rare property of particular words. Mitchell T. Lavin, whose "chump" was printed in June, composed, "I believe it is in the only expression in the British language which includes this peculiarity," while Clarence Williams published, about his "Guess" 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 is still in use. The mirror ambigram DeLorean Motor Logo design was first found in 1975.
John Langdon and Scott Kim also each thought that 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 custom logo in 1976, was an early affect on ambigrams also.
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 featured two 3-D ambigrams on the cover.
Ambigrams became popular therefore of Dan Dark brown incorporating John Langdon's designs into the plot of his bestseller, Angels & Demons, and the DVD release of the Angels & Demons movie includes a bonus section called "That is an Ambigram". Langdon also produced the ambigram that was used for a few variants of the book's cover. Brown used the name Robert Langdon for the hero in his novels as an homage to John Langdon.
In music, the Grateful Dead have used ambigrams several times, including on their albums Aoxomoxoa and American Beauty.
In the first group of the British isles show Treat or Trick, the show's coordinator and inventor Derren Brown uses cards with rotational ambigrams. These cards can read either 'Trick' or 'Treat'.
Although what spelled by most ambigrams are short in length relatively, one DVD cover for The Princess Bride-to-be movie creates a rotational ambigram out of two words: "Princess Bride," whether looked at right side up or upside down.
The Transformers movie series have logos that are a robot face whether seen 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 gone viral because upside-down it read "+Jews!" The ongoing company observed that "...we learned a powerful lessons of what never to do when making a logo."
Types of Ambigram
Ambigrams are exercises in graphic design that play with optical illusions, symmetry and visible notion. Some ambigrams include a romantic relationship between their form and their content. Ambigrams usually belong to one of several categories:
3-Dimensional
- A design where an subject is presented that will appear to read several words or words when viewed from different perspectives. Such designs can be made using constructive sturdy geometry.
Chain
- A design where a phrase (or sometimes words) are interlinked, creating a repeating chain. Words are usually overlapped meaning that a term will start partway through another portrayed phrase. String ambigrams are presented by means of a circle sometimes.
Dihedral
- An all natural mirror-image ambigram consisting of numerical digits.
Figure-ground
- A design where the spots between the letters of 1 word form another word.
Fractal
- A version of space-filling ambigrams where in fact the tiled word branches from itself and then shrinks in a self-similar manner, developing a fractal. See Scott Kim's fractal of the term "TREE" for an animated example.
Mirror-image
- A design that can be read when reflected in a reflection, usually as the same phrase or word both ways. Ambigrams that form different words when viewed in the mirror are also known as glass door ambigrams, because they could be imprinted over a a glass door to be read in another way when exiting or stepping into.
Multi-Lingual
- An ambigram that may be read the best way in a single dialect and one other way in another type of language. Multi-lingual ambigrams can exist in every of the many styles of ambigrams, with multi-lingual perceptual transfer ambigrams being eye-catching especially.
