ambigram words
An ambigram is a indicated term, art form or other symbolic representation whose elements hold on to meaning when viewed or interpreted from a new route, perspective, or orientation.
The meaning of the ambigram may either change, or stay the same, when seen 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 set of curves." Different ambigram performers (sometimes called ambigramists) may create completely different ambigrams from the same term or words, differing in both form and style.
Discovery and popularity
The earliest known non-natural ambigram times to 1893 by artist Peter Newell. Although better known for his children's literature and illustrations for Symbol 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 publication Topsys & Turvys contains the phrase THE FINISH, which, when inverted, reads PUZZLE. In Topsys & Turvys #2 2 (1902), Newell concluded with a variance on the ambigram in which THE last end changes into PUZZLE 2.
The Verbeek strip "The UpsideDowns of old man Muffaroo and little woman Lovekins" used ambigrams in 3 consecutive pieces in March,1904, but often the format of the use was prevented by this remove of term balloons.
From June to September, 1908, the English regular The Strand published some ambigrams by different 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 rare property of particular words. Mitchell T. Lavin, whose "chump" was publicized in June, composed, "I believe it is in the only word in the British language which includes this peculiarity," while Clarence Williams composed, about his "Gamble" ambigram, "Possibly B is the sole notice of the alphabet that will produce this interesting anomaly."
In 1969, Raymond Loewy designed the rotational NEW MAN ambigram logo design, today which is still in use. The mirror ambigram DeLorean Motor Logo design was first used in 1975.
John Langdon and Scott Kim also each thought that that they had developed ambigrams in the 1970s. Langdon and Kim are most likely both artists who have been most in charge of the popularization of ambigrams. John Langdon produced the first reflection image company logo "Starship" in 1975. Robert Petrick, who designed the invertible Angel brand in 1976, was also an early on affect on ambigrams.
The earliest known published mention of the term ambigram was by Hofstadter, who attributed the origin of the expressed 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 Brown incorporating John Langdon's designs in to the storyline of his bestseller, Angels & Demons, and the Dvd movie release of the Angels & Demons movie has a bonus section called "That is an Ambigram". Langdon also produced the ambigram that was used for a few versions 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 Dead have used ambigrams many times, including on their albums Aoxomoxoa and North american Beauty.
In the first series of the British show Halloween, the show's coordinator and originator Derren Brown uses credit cards with rotational ambigrams. These cards can read either 'Trick' or 'Treat'.
Although what spelled by most ambigrams are brief long relatively, one Movie cover for The Princess Bride-to-be movie creates a rotational ambigram out of two words: "Princess Bride," whether seen right area up or upside down.
The Transformers movie series have logos that are a automatic robot face whether seen right aspect up or ugly. 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 travelled viral because upside-down it read "+Jews!" The ongoing company mentioned that "...we learned a robust lessons of what not to do when making a emblem."
Types of Ambigram
Ambigrams are exercises in graphic design that play with optical illusions, symmetry and visual notion. Some ambigrams feature a relationship between their form and their content. Ambigrams usually fall under one of the categories:
3-Dimensional
- A design where an subject is offered that can look to learn several words or words when seen from different perspectives. Such designs can be made using constructive solid geometry.
Chain
- A design where a term (or sometimes words) are interlinked, creating a repeating chain. Words are usually overlapped meaning that a expression will start partway through another expressed term. Chain ambigrams are presented by means of a circle sometimes.
Dihedral
- A natural mirror-image ambigram consisting of numerical digits.
Figure-ground
- A design where the spaces between the letters of one term form another expressed expression.
Fractal
- A version of space-filling ambigrams where in fact the tiled phrase 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 may be read when reflected in a reflection, usually as the same term or term both ways. Ambigrams that form different words when viewed in the mirror are also known as glass door ambigrams, because they can be paper over a a glass door to be read diversely when exiting or getting into.
Multi-Lingual
- An ambigram that may be read a proven way in one words and another way in a new words. Multi-lingual ambigrams can exist in all of the various styles of ambigrams, with multi-lingual perceptual shift ambigrams being particularly striking.
not a real chained ambigram, but two seperate ambigrams of the words
