ambigram words
An ambigram is a word, art form or other symbolic representation whose elements retain interpretation when interpreted or looked at from some other way, point of view, or orientation.
This is of the ambigram might either change, or remain the same, when interpreted or looked at from different perspectives.
Douglas R. Hofstadter represents an ambigram as a "calligraphic design that manages to press two different readings into the selfsame set of curves." Different ambigram music artists (sometimes called ambigramists) may create completely 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 musician Peter Newell. Although better known for his children's books and illustrations for Draw Twain and Lewis Carroll, he shared two books of invertible illustrations, in which the picture turns into a different image entirely when turned upside down. 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 variant on the ambigram where the final end changes into PUZZLE 2.
The Verbeek remove "The UpsideDowns of old man Muffaroo and little sweetheart Lovekins" used ambigrams in 3 consecutive strips in March,1904, but normally the format of the strip prevented the use of term balloons.
From June to September, 1908, the British regular The Strand posted a series of ambigrams by different people in its "Curiosities" column. Of particular interest is the fact that all four of the individuals submitting ambigrams presumed them to be a uncommon property of particular words. Mitchell T. Lavin, whose "chump" was shared in June, had written, "I think it is in the only expression in the British 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 emblem, which continues to be in use today. The mirror ambigram DeLorean Motor Logo design was first used in 1975.
John Langdon and Scott Kim also each believed that that they had developed ambigrams in the 1970s. Langdon and Kim are probably both artists who've 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 logo in 1976, was also an early on effect on ambigrams.
The initial known published mention of the word ambigram was by Hofstadter, who attributed the origin of the expressed word to conversations among a tiny 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 consequently of Dan Brown incorporating John Langdon's designs into the story of his bestseller, Angels & Demons, and the DVD release of the Angels & Demons movie contains 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. Brownish used the true name Robert Langdon for the hero in his novels 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 United kingdom show Treat or Trick, the show's number and creator Derren Dark brown uses credit cards with rotational ambigrams. These cards can read either 'Strategy' or 'Treat'.
Although the words spelled by most ambigrams are brief long relatively, one Dvd movie cover for The Princess Bride 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 looked at right area up or upside down. You can find two such logos, one for an Autobot, and one for a Decepticon.
In 2015 iSmart's company logo on one of its travel chargers travelled viral because upside-down it read "+Jews!" The company mentioned that "...we learned a powerful lessons of what never to do when creating a company logo."
Types of Ambigram
Ambigrams are exercises in graphical design that play with optical illusions, symmetry and aesthetic conception. Some ambigrams feature a relationship between their form and their content. Ambigrams usually fall under one of several categories:
3-Dimensional
- A design where an thing is presented that can look to read several characters or words when viewed from different angles. Such designs can be produced using constructive solid geometry.
Chain
- A design where a phrase (or sometimes words) are interlinked, forming a repeating chain. Words are usually overlapped and therefore a term begins partway through another phrase. Chain ambigrams are offered by means of a group sometimes.
Dihedral
- An all natural mirror-image ambigram consisting of numerical digits.
Figure-ground
- A design where the places between the words of 1 term form another expressed word.
Fractal
- A version of space-filling ambigrams where the tiled phrase 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 may be read when shown in a mirror, usually as the same word or phrase both ways. 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 can be read the best way in one terms and another real way in an alternative vocabulary. Multi-lingual ambigrams can exist in all of the various styles of ambigrams, with multi-lingual perceptual shift ambigrams being particularly striking.
