Cerys' Ramblings: Art of Wordplay

After reading 'Angels and Demons' by Dan Brown, I was fascinated by ambigrams. I'd never heard or seen any before so dug a little deeper. If you don't know what an ambigram is by the way... Its a word which can be read upside down, back to front an even inside out!

John Langdon created several stunning ambigrams for Browns book and for anyone whos read the book... Brown named a character after him as thanks! (Robert Langdon)
John Langdon started out as a graphic designer and has won serveral awards for his logo designs, and has since become famous for his ambigrams.
He even designed the 'trick and treat' card that derrren brown uses on his series.

In Langdons book 'Wordplay' there are plenty of ambigrams to keep you mesmorised for hours, and reading how Landgon got into this area is definatly worth a read.
I really think its amazing how someone can turn any word or phrase into a work of art in serveral styles, there are plenty of links and information available to give you tips on how to create them.

A few of my favourite of Langdons logo designs and amibgrams.
