Ambigrams

Postby Jjtee » Apr 22nd, '09, 20:34



Hey TMers,

Just wondering whether anyone had any ideas about where I could find, or somehow create, a rotational ambigram which depicts some innane nonsense (or non-nonsense, AKA sense) from one direction and a playing card suit and number (such as Hearts or Spades) from the other? You know the type, Derren Brownesque Trick or Treat.

Failing that any ambigrams that I could pass off as subconsciously relaying a message, subtle ambigrams if you will.

Many thanks guys!

I know an excellent source, but it's pretty pricey. Were you looking for it to be free?

Free would perhaps be best...you weren't talking about commisioning one from the legendary John Langdon were you??!!!

Haha, not quite. Comissioning a guy I know from Sweden. Not quite as good, but still pretty amazing.

Nice input guys! Thanks for the help even you beetlejuiceecis ... XD.

I never thought such things existed, always imagining that a human was needed for such creativity. Apparently not anymore.

Thanks for that ambigram generator site - I never knew such things were possible, but now I know I will find some use for the information.
