ambigram words

An ambigram is a term, talent or other symbolic representation whose elements hold on to interpretation when looked at or interpreted from another direction, perspective, or orientation.

This is of the ambigram might either change, or continue to be the same, when viewed or interpreted from different perspectives.

Douglas R. Hofstadter represents an ambigram as a "calligraphic design that handles to press two different readings into the selfsame group of curves." Different ambigram music artists (sometimes called ambigramists) may create completely different ambigrams from the same phrase or words, differing in both style and form.

Discovery and popularity

The initial known non-natural ambigram schedules to 1893 by musician Peter Newell. Although better known for his children's books and illustrations for Symbol Twain and Lewis Carroll, he released two literature of invertible illustrations, in which the picture turns into a different image completely when turned upside down. The final page in his book Topsys & Turvys provides the phrase THE final end, which, when inverted, reads PUZZLE. In Topsys & Turvys Number 2 2 (1902), Newell finished with a variant on the ambigram where the END changes into PUZZLE 2.

The Verbeek strip "The UpsideDowns of old man Muffaroo and little girl Lovekins" used ambigrams in 3 consecutive whitening strips in March,1904, but usually the format of the use was avoided by this strip of term balloons.

From June to September, 1908, the British every month The Strand printed a series of ambigrams by different people in its "Curiosities" column. Of particular interest is the actual fact that four of the people submitting ambigrams thought them to be a rare property of particular words. Mitchell T. Lavin, whose "chump" was shared in June, published, "I believe it is in the only expression in the British language which has this peculiarity," while Clarence Williams published, about his "Gamble" ambigram, "Possibly B is the only letter of the alphabet that will produce this interesting anomaly."

In 1969, Raymond Loewy designed the rotational NEW MAN ambigram custom logo, which continues to be used today. The mirror ambigram DeLorean Motor Logo design was first used in 1975.

John Langdon and Scott Kim each thought that they had developed ambigrams in the 1970s also. Langdon and Kim are probably the two 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 emblem in 1976, was also an early on affect on ambigrams.

The earliest known published mention of the word 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 highlighted two 3-D ambigrams on the cover.

Ambigrams became more popular because of this of Dan Brown incorporating John Langdon's designs into the story of his bestseller, Angels & Demons, and the Movie release of the Angels & Demons movie is made up of a bonus section called "This is an Ambigram". Langdon also produced the ambigram that was used for some 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 the albums American and Aoxomoxoa Beauty.

Within the first group of the British isles show Treat or Strategy, the show's coordinator 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 long, one Dvd and blu-ray cover for The Princess Bride-to-be movie creates a rotational ambigram out of two words: "Princess Bride-to-be," whether seen right area up or ugly.

The Transformers movie series have logos that are a automatic robot face whether looked at right side up or ugly. You can find two such logos, one for an Autobot, and one for a Decepticon.

In 2015 iSmart's logo design on one of its travel chargers travelled viral because upside-down it read "+Jews!" The company noted that "...we learned a powerful lesson of what never 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 feature a marriage between their form and their content. Ambigrams usually fall under one of the categories:

3-Dimensional

A design where an object is shown that can look to read several characters or words when seen from different perspectives. Such designs can be made using constructive solid geometry.

Chain

A design in which a expression (or sometimes words) are interlinked, building a repeating chain. Words are usually overlapped meaning that a term will start partway through another portrayed expression. 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 the characters of 1 expression form another portrayed word.

Fractal

A version of space-filling ambigrams where in fact the tiled term branches from itself and then shrinks in a self-similar manner, forming 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, 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 on a glass door to be read differently when entering or exiting.

Multi-Lingual

An ambigram that can be read one way in one vocabulary and another real way in an alternative dialect. Multi-lingual ambigrams can exist in every of the various styles of ambigrams, with multi-lingual perceptual shift ambigrams being striking specifically.
