An ambigram is a word, art form or other symbolic representation whose elements retain meaning when viewed or interpreted from a different perspective, direction, or orientation. The word "ambigram" was coined in Ambigrammata, a wordbook published in 1892 by German-born artist Oscar Rejlander.
An ambigram is a word, art form or other symbolic representation whose elements retain meaning when viewed or interpreted from a different perspective, direction, or orientation. The word "ambigram" was first used in this context in 1981 by Douglas R. Hofstadter, in his book "Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid". There are many ways to create ambigrams, and many artists and designers create ambigram art and logos. Some people use ambigrams to create secret messages that can be read from multiple perspectives, or to create visual puns. There are also software programs that can create ambigrams from words or phrases. There are a few companies that offer ambigram name services, where you can purchase an ambigram of your name, or have one custom-made. These companies usually have a gallery of pre-made designs to choose from, or you can request a specific design.
There are a few companies that will create custom ambigram names for you, but they are not without their critics. Some people argue that ambigrams are simply a way to make a name more difficult to read, while others find them to be beautiful works of art. Ultimately, it is up to the individual to decide whether or not an ambigram is right for them.
