What do Philadelphia, San Diego, San Francisco and New York City have in common? The names of those cities produce some of the best ambigrams we could find in our world-wide hunt.

The exquisite “Philadelphia – City of Brotherly Love” ambigram by John Langdon garnered the highest score, and took our top prize. Congratulations to John and to Philadelphia!

Ambigrams are still very unique, despite their introduction into the mainstream culture by various artists & books. So sometimes, when you see an ambigram in the real world, you have to do a double take to make sure it really is an ambigram!

The new “Heaven in Blazing Sunshine” (“Blazing”) limited edition ambigram print has been turning heads since its recent release.

We caught up with the artist, Seb Lester, to find out more about this excellent piece of work.

“This is an Ambigram” is the name of an upcoming bonus feature on the two-disc Blu-ray and the two-disc Extended Edition DVD releases of Ron Howard’s Da Vinci Code sequel “Angels & Demons”. If you love ambigrams, you will definitely want to check this out.

Before the Internet, before Adobe Illustrator, even before “ambigrams” had a name… there was Scott Kim, pushing the envelope of word design.
 
We caught up with Scott for an amazing look at his early pioneering ambigram work, all the way up to his latest venture, “ShuffleBrain”.

The Ron Howard / Tom Hanks movie “Angels and Demons” hit theaters on May 15th. We caught up with John Langdon, the artist behind the ambigrams in the movie to discuss his contributions. Hint: It’s more than just the artwork.

If ambigrams were people, this would be the collection of “A-List” celebrities.

In “Angels and Demons”, Dan Brown states that ambigrams are four hundred years old, but the known history of ambigrams is quite a bit shorter.
