Ambigrams

[heernumurr]

I was pretty bored and haven't posted anything new in a while, so I thought I'd throw these up to see what people think. In case you don't know, they read exactly the same when turned through 180 degrees. Did these for some friends and have tons more, but only on paper. I've seen better examples elsewhere, but this is just my attempt at something I haven't tried before.

Here are some cool ones.

Yeah, those are great.

I read Dan Brown's book Angels and Demons, and in it the characters make a big deal about how nobody's ever been able to reproduce the lost ambigrams of the Illuminati, not even with computers. But that's really odd to read when he's included them in the pages of the book.

Are those the real ones? I've read some of it over break, but haven't finished.

It's way better than Da Vinci Code. I'm not sure about the ambigrams though.

[andrewharrington]

My fave. By far.

I tried one that says my first name right-side up and my middle name upside-down. I imagine that if I ever got a tattoo, it would be of something like that. They're fun, but way too hard for me.

A good base: http://ambigram.matic.com/

You still need to re-draw the shapes, but it's a good way to practice forms.

True.

Of course, if the Vatican got ticked off at The Da Vinci Code, just wait until the press releases for the Angels and Demons film hit the wires....

I did my name on that website

[-(dp)-]

Here is one I did for somebody

Also, am I the only one who can't read the first one in the thread? The Victoria one looks great, but I can't read the one above it.

^I think it says Laura...

[heernumurr]

Yeah, My name is Devin, and I can not get the v to work in there. Same problem as the you have with the u.

Here is the one from the ambigram generator site:

Doing a "v to v" is a mess. If you had another name that had 5 letters (middle name, name of significant other, etc.), you could try that, and then the v would become the middle letter of the other name.

My name looked terrible on that website, but my cat's name came out really well:

the U reminds me of the Miami Hurricane's main logo.
