Ambigrams



Here at Wohba we also have a kindler, gentler, softer, artistic side. Sometimes we come across artwork that has the ability to make our top men stop and ponder.

Ambigrams for example.

Co-invented independently in the seventies by John Langdon and Scott Kim (et al), Ambigrams consist of typography that... blah blah blah blah blah... just explore the links below and be amazed.

Start at John Langdon's site. He gives a bit of history and has wonderful examples of different styles. Then try Scott Kim's site. Scott is considered by many to be the master of this artform.

And lastly, go to this site and get a brute-force Ambigram of your name (or any other words.)
