I was looking through a magazine today and I came across these ambigrams. I think ambigrams are amazing ways to play with type. I think it would be a fun exercise and I do not know why I have never given it a shot. I enjoy looking at decorative, scripty fonts, and when someone has managed to manipulate beautiful text into an ambigram, I am usually just blown away. One problem with ambigrams a lot of the time, however, is they can become very hard to read (like the bottom left hand one, I am still not quite sure what it is supposed to say). I probably like the first one the best, and I like how they incorporated the design in the real world. A beer bottle is a perfect place for an ambigram because it is frequently turned upside down :)
On a side note, I had to include my favorite ambigram in this post. I saw this a long time ago in blockbuster (before they went out of business) and I was hoping that I would not have any trouble finding it online, but I had no idea just how famous it was.
I give you the cover of the 20th anniversary edition of "The Princess Bride"...
