read these twice

by Andrew

an ambigram is a word or words that can be read from more than one point of view, usually with some artistic aspect. the picture shown here says "ambigram" even when rotated 180 degrees.



There are manyvarying types ambigrams: it is an entertaining trip to just go down the side of wikipedia's page on ambigrams and see some of the uncanny visual tricks achieved. Who would have thought Paul McCartney could make his name rotatable?
