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.

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”.

Calling ambigrams the “hottest trend in typography since Helvetica”, Wired Magazine publishes this gem by artist Scott Kim.

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.
