Hey everyone, Im looking for an Ambigram Generator, like the gothic looking text used in Dan Brown Books and Derren Brown trick or treat.... The one below is very useful to see how they are made but not very serious looking...Has anyone any links to good sites......


http://ambigram.matic.com/ambigram.htm

apart from this one....

Thanks guys -MC

Good link there, Lady and Lord look very good. I can see a use for that straight away

There's no dynamic way to generate a decent looking ambigram, they are generally hand crafted.

John Langdon and Scott Kim are both masters of the art (Langdon is the Dan Brown artist, and also had his name given to the lead character in Brown's books!)

Doing your own is quite simple if you are artistic, check out:

Looking at the squiggly typeface, there seems to be scope for using it with some of the stuff in Chapter 10 of Psychological Subtleties.

www.ambigram.net seems like a good site. Their ambigram generator is down at the moment, though.

This inspired me to try and create one, here it is!

It's basically just my name "ANDREW MAHONEY"
I'm rather proud of it really

That's excellent.

Just a little note.. Ambigrams read the same way up or down. You guys are talking about asymmetric ambigrams which reveal diferent words.

very good Mahoney. One of the best I have seen.

Hey thanks guys! Yeah I think I got a bit lucky with my name really. I've tried with other names of people and I haven't got any of tehm quite as good at that one yet...

i like it and if it's a firs attempt it's really good.

I have no artistic ability what so ever, even my pin men would go on strike if they could, but I've challenged my local art student to see if they can create something for me. I love illusions and things like this and if they can come up with something suitable would consider changing my business logo.

It's off at a tangent from this but http://www.sandlotscience.com has some fun optical illusions one or two of you may like. Found it whilst bumbling around the web a while back.

still looking for an ambigram? I'm getting good at 'em lol

it says "Deryn Legend" if u don't see it

i went to one generator that worked, but like said by someone earlier, they didnt look serious. and the one that looks promising is down. this is serious for me. im getting my sons name tattood and i cant find a serious generator. help? javascript:emoticon(':?')

That site is *still* down.

The best ambigram generator that I could find (that was actually working) was at www.FlipScript.com. It seemed to do a really good job with just about any two similar length words I could dream up.

Too bad, that other site looks like it could have been interesting to play with.[/url]
