Ambigrams. Get yer ambigrams here.

Wired has a pretty interesting article on ambigrams this month. I’ve always been fascinated by these things. Ages ago I got a John Langdon (he updated his site recently) book from the library and started making my own, which all pretty much sucked.

I’m more confident nowadays though. I created an ambigram for Norah, my daughter (above), and I’m working on one for Julian, my son. These things are really difficult, and I’ve got a ton of respect for those who can create good ones.

  1. When do I get one? :)

    I’m not soliciting requests at this point unfortunately, but I’ll take it under advisement. “Nolan” should be pretty simple to create, much like “Norah” actually. “L”s in the middle of the word are dead easy of course, so figuring out the bookended “N”s is really the only tricky part.

    If I have time, I might attempt it. Just because I’m a generous guy. And you’re lucky your name is so similar to my daughter’s. :)

    If anyone else out there wants to attempt it, don’t wait on me.

    I’m much too busy to take requests @ZOPFI. Sorry. That word seems like it would be pretty hard. Anyone else out there up for the challenge?

    Lucky you, Julian. I have a sketch of a Julian ambigram already done. I have started cleaning it up in Illustrator, but haven’t finished it yet. I’ll try to finish it and post it soon.

    (My son’s name is Julian)
