Although only a minor fan of their music, I’ve been a great fan of Angel’s logo! It inspired me, as a graphics designer, to design an ambigram for a company with the name “Pearl”. Although it turned out well, the client didn’t “get it” and it was rejected. “ANGEL”…still one of my all-time favorite logos.

I am a huge fan of Angels & Demons, and the brands were the first thing that turned me into an Ambigram fanatic. I love how they look so elegant. I attempted my name and it totally failed. I will need a hell of a lot more practice. It’s harder than it looks. I do the generators all the time to see how I could do it. I try and try, but get so close, then lose it. Angelique is a hard name to do. I could go by Angie, but it just doesn’t sound good at all.
But, the A&D ambigrams are the best. I love the Fire one the most. Go Fire! Haha!

Good list…but I must say that the LIFE-DEATH ambigram is the most well known…performing ambigrams all over, I always have people come up to me after our show and say, “HAVE YOU SEEN THIS ONE?” And they pull out a card that has LIFE/DEATH on it. I have yet for anyone to ask me about these. But these ambigrams are great.

The Illuminati Diamond.. that should be in the list as the most perfect ambigram: aethetically, thematically and execution…?

In reply to Wangai:

In making an ambigram of your name, I would recommend mixing upper and lower case letters this way: Make the “N” as the rotation point. It is near the middle and it looks like itself when you turn it upside-down. Style the “a” with the tail above it, as you see in this font, to look much like the less-used font of “g” that has the “tail-with-a-bubble” off the lower left side instead of the curved tail off the lower right that is used in this font. Make the large round circular areas of these two letters just barely smaller than your “N,” and extend their tails past the “N” a little bit. Then combine the “AI” to resemble an upside-down “W.” It’s OK to put a cross-bar inside the “W” where the counterpart of “A” belongs. If you don’t like the whole cross-bar, make it reach only part way across. The “A” will still look complete even if the cross-bar doesn’t go all the way through.

I hope this helps!
