3.    Left part colored differently to right part

Two IT firms TechM & Satyam Caught and Ambigrammed by Me...

Hi Folks,


My next trail for the ambigram is a matured one. So took this a very important task for me and allocated so time for this.


From the past few months, TechM and Satyam are combined together, seeing in News Papers, flash News and in main headlines.


As this is a current Affair, I got an Idea that why can’t these two IT Industries caught and Ambigram?So this idea arose and came into a fine product from me by using the fontstyle techniques called Ambigram Technique.
So check out the Images below Ambigrammed and fontstyled names say Satyam and TechM (knowm as Tech Mahindra)

The first Image is the name Satyam Ambigram treat it as sATyam where the fonts are some where capitalized.
Look at the second image , TechM Ambigram treat it as techM where the font ‘M’ is capital.So some how I made it as Tech M.FontStyle the ambigram TechM is the Rotational Ambigram when the above image is rotated to 180 o.





So in the category called rotational Ambigram, added one post to meet the highest post.I like this Ambigram among the remaining.Thanks for reading and seeing this Ambigram and this fontstyle.

If you want you/LOVER name to be in ambigram, STAY TUNED.

An Ambigram Combines Two Names into One: category Rotational



An ambigram is the technique of combining of two names into one name. This Ambigram so called Lalitha/Pallav, when you turn it upside down. It is also sometimes known as an inversion, a graphical figure that spells out one or more words not only in its form as presented, but also in another direction or orientation. The text spelled out in the other direction or orientation is often the same, but can also be a different text. Douglas describes ambigram as a "calligraphic design that manages to squeeze two different readings into the selfsame set of curves."
Now if we consider the current Ambigram (fontstyles) which can be seen as LALitha (Ambigram) in the below snap

Now if we rotate the ambigram Lalitha now we can see a new name called pallAv .please donot consider the first letter a.Now we can see the new Ambigrammed name with in an ambigram name.which is called as Rotational Amgram Category.

This Ambigram looks awesome..isnt it? Stay tuned for this type of ambigrams. If you want Your and your lover name to be in Ambigram Style? Then comment with the names for the ambigram.will definitely be it as a post.

The First Known Ambigram(1893)

The first known non-natural ambigram was created in 1893.


The picture below was created in 1893 by Peter Newell as the last page in his book “Topsys and Turvys”. It read “THE END” normally and when inverted became the word “PUZZLE”.


Although Peter Newell was better known for his children’s books and for his illustrations for Lewis Carroll and Mark Twain than he was for his ambigrams, he published 2 books of illustrations of invertible designs ( where the picture (and text) turn into a completely different image when turned upside down
