Ambigram: Meaning, Examples, and Creating Your Own
What is an Ambigram?
An ambigram is a word, name or phrase that retains meaning when viewed from another perspective—flipped, rotated, or mirrored. These clever typographic designs are part art, part optical illusion, and they’ve fascinated artists, designers, and curious minds for decades.
What Does “Ambigram” Mean?
The word ambigram comes from the Latin roots ambi- (meaning “both”) and -gram (meaning “written”). In other words, it’s a word design that was written so that it can be read in two ways.
The FlipScript Ambigram Generator allows you to turn words, names, and phrases into ambigram designs that can be read both upright and upside down by simply typing in the words you'd like to have in your design! It's fast, fun and easy.
Ambigram Example
Here is an example of a rotational ambigram that says wonder in one direction and mystery in the other direction. It was created by simply typing those two words into the ambigram generator.
