ambigram words

An ambigram is a expressed word, art form or other symbolic representation whose elements retain meaning when interpreted or looked at from a different way, perspective, or orientation.

The meaning of the ambigram might either change, or continue to be the same, when interpreted or looked at from different perspectives.

Douglas R. Hofstadter explains an ambigram as a "calligraphic design that handles to squeeze two different readings in to the selfsame group of curves." Different ambigram musicians and artists (sometimes called ambigramists) may create very 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 Mark Twain and Lewis Carroll, he released two books of invertible illustrations, in which the picture turns into a different image totally when turned upside down. The very last page in his book Topsys & Turvys contains the phrase THE final end, which, when inverted, reads PUZZLE. In Topsys & Turvys #2 2 (1902), Newell concluded with a variation on the ambigram where the final end changes into PUZZLE 2.

The Verbeek strip "The UpsideDowns of old man Muffaroo and little woman 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 June to September, 1908, the British isles regular The Strand posted a series of ambigrams by differing people in its "Curiosities" column. Of particular interest is the fact that all four of the people submitting ambigrams believed them to be a uncommon property of particular words. Mitchell T. Lavin, whose "chump" was published in June, wrote, "I believe it is in the only phrase in the English language which includes this peculiarity," while Clarence Williams wrote, about his "Guess" 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 brand, which is still used today. The mirror ambigram DeLorean Motor Logo design was first used in 1975.

John Langdon and Scott Kim each thought that that they had developed 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 reflection image custom logo "Starship" in 1975. Robert Petrick, who designed the invertible Angel emblem in 1976, was an early on influence on ambigrams also.

The initial known published reference to 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 original 1979 edition of Hofstadter's G?del, Escher, Bach highlighted two 3-D ambigrams on the cover.

Ambigrams became more popular as a result of Dan Brown incorporating John Langdon's designs into the plot of his bestseller, Angels & Demons, and the Dvd movie release of the Angels & Demons movie includes a bonus section called "This is an Ambigram". Langdon also produced the ambigram that was used for some variations of the book's cover. 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 the albums American and Aoxomoxoa Beauty.

In the first series of the English show Treat or Technique, the show's host and inventor Derren Brown uses cards with rotational ambigrams. These cards can read either 'Trick' or 'Treat'.

Although the words spelled by most ambigrams are short in length relatively, one Dvd movie cover for The Princess Bride-to-be movie creates a rotational ambigram out of two words: "Princess Bride-to-be," whether looked at right part or ugly up.

The Transformers movie series have logos that are a robot face whether seen right side up or upside down. You will discover two such logos, one for an Autobot, and one for a Decepticon.

In 2015 iSmart's emblem using one of its travel chargers went viral because upside-down it read "+Jews!" The ongoing company noted that "...we learned a powerful lesson of what not to do when making a brand."

Types of Ambigram

Ambigrams are exercises in graphical design that play with optical illusions, symmetry and visible understanding. Some ambigrams feature a romance between their form and their content. Ambigrams usually belong to one of several categories:

3-Dimensional

A design where an object is offered that will appear to read several characters or words when looked at from different perspectives. Such designs can be generated using constructive stable geometry.

Chain

A design where a expression (or sometimes words) are interlinked, building a repeating string. Characters are usually overlapped meaning that a term will start partway through another word. String ambigrams are offered in the form of a group sometimes.

Dihedral

An all natural mirror-image ambigram consisting of numerical digits.

Figure-ground

A design where the places between your words of one expression form another portrayed term.

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 term "TREE" for an animated example.

Mirror-image

A design that may be read when reflected in a mirror, as the same phrase or expression both ways usually. Ambigrams that form different words when viewed in the mirror are also known as glass door ambigrams, because they can be printed over a glass door to be read differently when entering or exiting.

Multi-Lingual

An ambigram that may be read one of the ways in one language and other ways in a different terminology. Multi-lingual ambigrams can exist in all of the many styles of ambigrams, with multi-lingual perceptual shift ambigrams being impressive specifically.
