Ambigram


What is an ambigram? I ran across a reference to this word on an entry at "The Adventures of Accordion Guy". Check out the "Love/Hate t-shirt".

Ambigram n., - a word or words that can be read in more than one way or from more than a single vantage point, such as both right side up and upside down. (from Latin: ambi=both + gram=letter)

You really have to see these to understand them. Thats where flickr and filmloop come in handy. If you haven't tried flickr, it is a super cool photo web site where you can upload photos and share them with your friends. Filmloop is a bit of software along with a server that lets you make these little clip/loop like things of photos and then post them on the web.

Here is a loop of ambigramsfound on flickr.

If you want more info on ambigrams check out the Eye Twister web pages hosted at Monash University.
