Ambigram Challenge: Valentine’s Day

Jan 13th, 2010 | By | Category: A.C.A.C.

vday

One month from tomorrow is one of the most loved (or hated) holidays of the year: Valentine’s Day! It is only appropriate that the next theme has to do with love.

This theme is very flexible, and you could approach it several different ways. Your ambigram could be any word that is typically associated with Valentine’s day. Or, if you are not a big fan of the holiday, you can take a satirical and humorous approach to this challenge. Regardless of what your approach will be, remember to be creative and have fun with it! Once again, the choice is up each individual artist.

A word of warning The temptation to use additional visual elements (hearts, cupids, male/female figures, etc.) is very difficult to resist considering the theme.

If you’ve already created an ambigram in the past that fits into the theme, feel free to submit it (it does not have to be new for 2010 unless it contains the year as part of the design).

Deadline

All artwork will need to be submitted by midnight on February 14th, 2010 to qualify. Email your designs to challenge@ambigram.com . The contest is open to everyone, whether or not you have participated in the past, so give it a shot.  Winners are automatically entered to receive our annual “Ambigrammy” award, issued at the same time as the music industry’s Grammy awards.

The results will be published on February 28th, 2010, and the next challenge will be announced at that time.

Good luck to everyone, and remember…all you need is love!

    Absolutely. You can submit as many as you want. But…go for quality not quantity.

    Hey,
    Is the contest is only for the Valentine theme or can post the ambigram designs ?
    Can I submit my Ambigram created for the word “Valentine” for this contest?

    I have created “Valentine Ambigram” upon request.
    Let me know that Valentine Ambigram is applicable for the contest.

    [...] Prace nad nim rozpocząłem kilka miesięcy temu, ale dopiero kolejna edycja konkursu ACAC (tutaj znajdziecie szczegóły), której temat pokrywał się z treścią ambigramu, zobligowała mnie do przyspieszenia prac. [...]
