ambigram words
An ambigram is a expression, talent or other symbolic representation whose elements hold on to so this means when seen or interpreted from another type of way, point of view, or orientation.
The meaning of the ambigram might either change, or continue to be the same, when viewed or interpreted from different perspectives.
Douglas R. Hofstadter describes an ambigram as a "calligraphic design that manages to squeeze two different readings into the selfsame group of curves." Different ambigram performers (sometimes called ambigramists) may create very different ambigrams from the same word or words, differing in both form and style.
Discovery and popularity
The earliest 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 published two books of invertible illustrations, in which the picture turns into a different image when turned upside down entirely. The very last page in his publication Topsys & Turvys contains the phrase THE final end, which, when inverted, reads PUZZLE. In Topsys & Turvys Number 2 2 (1902), Newell ended 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 girl Lovekins" used ambigrams in 3 consecutive whitening strips in March,1904, but often the format of the use was avoided by this strip of expression balloons.
From to September June, 1908, the United kingdom regular monthly The Strand publicized a series of ambigrams by differing people in its "Curiosities" column. Of particular interest is the fact that four of the people submitting ambigrams thought them to be a exceptional property of particular words. Mitchell T. Lavin, whose "chump" was shared in June, composed, "I think it is in the only expression in the English language which includes this peculiarity," while Clarence Williams wrote, about his "Guess" ambigram, "Possibly B is the only real letter of the alphabet that will produce such an interesting anomaly."
In 1969, Raymond Loewy designed the rotational NEW MAN ambigram logo design, which continues to be used today. The mirror ambigram DeLorean Motor Company logo was first used in 1975.
John Langdon and Scott Kim each thought that that they had invented ambigrams in the 1970s also. Langdon and Kim are most likely both artists who've been most in charge of the popularization of ambigrams. John Langdon produced the first mirror image custom logo "Starship" in 1975. Robert Petrick, who designed the invertible Angel company logo in 1976, was also an early effect on ambigrams.
The earliest known published reference to 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 original 1979 edition of Hofstadter's G?del, Escher, Bach featured two 3-D ambigrams on the cover.
Ambigrams became more popular as a result of Dan Dark brown incorporating John Langdon's designs into the story of his bestseller, Angels & Demons, and the 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 variants 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 Dead have used ambigrams several times, including on their albums Aoxomoxoa and American Beauty.
Within the first group of the British show Treat or Technique, the show's coordinator and inventor Derren Brown uses cards with rotational ambigrams. These credit cards can read either 'Technique' or 'Treat'.
Although the words spelled by most ambigrams are relatively short in length, one Dvd and blu-ray cover for The Princess Bride-to-be movie creates a rotational ambigram out of two words: "Princess Bride," whether seen right part up or ugly.
The Transformers movie series have logos that are a automatic robot face whether looked at right aspect up or upside down. You will discover two such logos, one for an Autobot, and one for a Decepticon.
In 2015 iSmart's custom logo on one of its travel chargers proceeded to go viral because upside-down it read "+Jews!" The ongoing company known that "...we learned a powerful lessons of what not to do when making a emblem."
Types of Ambigram
Ambigrams are exercises in graphical design that play with optical illusions, symmetry and visible perception. Some ambigrams include a romantic relationship between their form and their content. Ambigrams usually get caught in one of several categories:
3-Dimensional
- A design where an thing is provided that can look to read several words or words when looked at from different angles. Such designs can be generated using constructive solid geometry.
Chain
- A design in which a word (or sometimes words) are interlinked, building a repeating string. Characters are usually overlapped meaning that a term will start partway through another expressed expression. String ambigrams are shown in the form of a group sometimes.
Dihedral
- A natural mirror-image ambigram comprising numerical digits.
Figure-ground
- A design where the spots between your letters of one word form another term.
Fractal
- A version of space-filling ambigrams where in fact the tiled expression 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 can be read when shown in a mirror, as the same expression or term both ways usually. Ambigrams that form different words when viewed in the mirror are also known as glass door ambigrams, because they can be branded on the cup door to be read differently when exiting or joining.
Multi-Lingual
- An ambigram that can be read the best way in a single terminology and another real way in an alternative language. Multi-lingual ambigrams can exist in all of the various styles of ambigrams, with multi-lingual perceptual shift ambigrams being particularly striking.
