ambigrams

i was reading a book by dan brown(author of the da vinci code), which titled angels and demons.. this novel is going to be in the cinemas this coming may, i think..

well upon reading this book, i was fascinated by an emblem of some sort which called ambigrams.

An ambigram, also sometimes known as an inversion, is a graphical figure that spells out one or more words not only in its form as presented, but also in another direction or orientation. The text spelled out in the other direction or orientation is often the same, but can also be a different text. Douglas R. Hofstadter describes an ambigram as a “calligraphic design that manages to squeeze two different readings into the selfsame set of curves.”

Independently, the term “ambigram” is used by the National Puzzlers’ League to mean an ambiguous anagram.

 its basically a word that when you turn upside down still reads the same word. although sometimes when you turn an ambigram upside down, it sometimes read another word..hehe

here are some ambigrams i have made, with a little design of my own of course..hehe
