Its been really long since I made an ambigram. . Nothing more to say. . the pic above says it all. .

Its been a while since I made one. . Since I was on a rest for a couple of weeks. . Raajita, a dear friend of mine asked me to make this ambigram. .

I was inspired by John Skylling's ambigram "a lot of love" for the final finsh.

URMI VISHAL

2009-12-16T19:12:00.004+05:30

Before I begin with anything. .

My Heart filled wishes to the couple "Urmi and Vishal" on their wedding and hoping the best for you both today and forever, A very Happy Married Life!!

This ambigram was seriously difficult when I started a few weeks back. Also I had a deadline for it as I was leaving on 12th for the wedding and it was very important that I finish on or before that day. But till the 11th night I still didn't have a proper solution. What ever I managed was all messy and I almost reached the verge of dropping the idea of making one.

So on the 12th morning, I reached office well before time (not my usual type). Since I reached early, I had time till everyone settled down so I gave my one last shot. I just couldn't believe it. . got the solution in a few seconds making me feel silly for all these while trying to make one.

It just seemed like my lucky day. . half the office was empty which meant I could complete the ambigram on the computer without any one noticing me.

Hoping that they like it. And once again All the Best wishes to them. . Cheers!!

I was getting bored of my blog appearance for a while and since it was sunday I thought of doing something new with it.

I started off with the ambigram of the word "ambigram". Since it was done by many and I basically had in my mind how the others have done it, so I was ending up doing the same as others.

Not getting satisfied, I then decided to do with the word "ambigrams". Initially I started off with a rotational ambigram and even though I did it but then dropped that idea as it would take time to complete it on the computer. So finally I tried a mirror ambigram which happened to be my first attempt on it. I just got the solution in a matter of few seconds.

Now I had to choose simple fonts and modify to complete it. So I simply took the arial and verdana font. In the end really satisfied with it.

The moment i saw this request. . I had got the solution for it. . but making the whole thing look good took me time. . i enjoyed doing this as it was a long time since i got an easy one. .

AMMAR

2009-09-11T23:13:00.007+05:30

This ambigram is completely adapted from John Langdon's ambigrams of 'AIR' and 'WATER'. .

The idea of using this ambigram struck me when i was showing my brother some of John Langdon's work. . That the above ambigrams gave me a perfect combination for this one. .

SALMAN AHMED

2009-09-10T01:28:00.003+05:30

Finally after 2 days of struggling. . kept it similar to the salman ambigram with just little additions. . the 'S' and 'D' combination was taking time. . Thanks to my brother Saad who approved this combination. .

HASSAN

2009-09-10T01:26:00.004+05:30

While doing the Salman ambigram. . i got a solution for "Hassan". . it was very simple and easy. .

SALMAN

2009-09-07T23:05:00.002+05:30

Salman bhai aapke naam ka bhi bana diya :). .

This ambigram is one of the first ones tried 3 yrs back. . the basics were the same just changed the style and typography. .

NOAMAAN

2009-09-04T18:04:00.005+05:30

I had made this some 6 months back n completely forgot about giving final touches. . so finally i just did it. . Again the design is inspired by Nagfa's "BAMBER" ambigram. . wherein the style of 'M' similar to the one used in Nagfa's "BAMBER" ambigram. . I am just in love with this style of typography and try use it as much as possible in my ambigrams. .

Its been a while that the blog got updated. . Just got busy with my brother's marriage and Alhamdulillah it all went good.

So here is this small present as an ambigram that I made specially for the married couple. Wishing them all the success and a happy married life.

I knew I had to make this one and it was on my list for quite sometime but got busy with marriage preparations and all.

But when I finally managed to get sometime out to make this ambigram, I never really thought I would struggle making this one, may be because I just wanted it to be perfect. So it took me over a week to get the ambigram finalise and a whole day to further making it right. What really took time was searching for the borders.

Before this blod gets dead. . I just need to update on regular basis. . Stills lots of ambigrams on the list. . Only problem is now I feel really really lazy making the final on the comp. .

BASEER (new design)

2009-06-06T04:02:00.005+05:30

I had seen a similar style in NAGFA's blog (January 2009 archive) which they had design for "BAMBER" racing. . only after i had takin permission from them i used this style in his name. .

u visit their site also to check it

2009-06-02T01:43:00.004+05:30

Well i know u had asked for it long back. . sorry abt it. . got lil busy. . even though i made it long back on my book. . i jus needed to make it on comp. . Anyways its ur day. . so thought of finishin this today itself. . hope u like. . n ya Happy B'day!!

BIJOY

2009-04-15T01:48:00.003+05:30

hey thanks a lot for calling. . seriously didnt imagine at all. . well talkin abt ambigrams n thought make for ur b'day it self. . n jus sketched it talkin 2 u on the phone itself. .

u asked me how easy or fast can i do. . Frankly speakin it all depends on the letters. . n talkin abt fast . . urs was done jus b4 we ended our conversation. .

it jus seems 2 be ur lucky day. . happy b'day dude!!! many great years ahead n have a blast!! hope 2 meet u soon. .

KARTAR

2009-04-12T19:30:00.011+05:30

I had made a couple of combinations but it just wasnt fitting in. . luckily i was reading 'angels and demons' again n while flipping through pages i came across the ambigram of 'earth' n simply just admiring the symmetry of it, i cracked the ambigram of 'kartar'. . its on a very similar lines to the 'earth' ambigram by John Langdon. .

though kartar had asked me for a psyched one. . i really didnt understand what it meant making a psyched ambigram. . but i think all ambigrams r psyched up. . n i guess the symmetry of it makes it even more. .

RAVI SHANKER

2009-04-10T00:36:00.002+05:30

Had really good time doing this. . its come out really nice. .

NAVEEN

2009-04-09T16:35:00.002+05:30

A request frm Wasim. . he wanted it in this style. . so ther u go. .

WASIM

2009-04-07T01:52:00.003+05:30

This one was a real quicky. . jus had 2 work on 'ASI' combination as 'W & M' r natural rotational ambigrams. .

BASEER

2009-04-06T11:25:00.004+05:30

For my first room mate in college. .
when i had first made this 2 years back. . it was nothing like this n was very complicated n difficult 2 read. . until recently i saw a "B and ER" combination a "NAGFA's" blog (visit the link mentioned on the right side). . n started thinkin whose name starts with 'B' nad ends with 'ER'. . now just looking at it. . its one of the most simplest n readible ambigram i have ever made . .
for ppl who really want ambigrams can visit Mark Palmer's http://www.wowtattoos.com/ and also for free ambigrams. . they have made an ambigram generator. . its cool but has its limitations as well. . if its not being made then ur hard luck. .

RUCHIKA

2009-04-05T20:34:00.002+05:30

SARMISTHA

2009-04-05T20:32:00.004+05:30

Been while since uploaded any. . finally got some time to do it. . made this a month back but just got busy n all. .

PRATEEK

2009-03-03T22:29:00.006+05:30

This was done super fast. . hand done super fast. . clicked a snap of it. . photoshoped it n here is ur final work. . i guess it saves a lot of time but i guess i still like doing it in illustrator. . the best part of hand work is u can achieve the curves easily as for in comp its a pain taking tasks which only takes time 2 get it right. .

ASHIRWAD

2009-02-01T02:43:00.004+05:30

This person gave me 3 requests. . so this is just the first one. .
i was making Deb sir's ambi. . as i was struggling with it. . i gave a try to this one. . it was intersing cos the page in which i was making this was filled with 'number 1'. . n thats what i used in 'W' to represent it like 'HI'. . rest seemed easy. . n when doing it in computer things kept on changing n finally i ended up finishing this. .
Hope u like it ASHIRWAD. . aur interesting trivia here. . "ASHIRWAD ke saath mera 50 ambigram complete ho gaya". i guess no better way to get blessed like this. .

DEBRAJ

2009-02-01T02:34:00.003+05:30

I had been struggling with this ambigram for sometime. . so what i did was joined 'AJ' to look like 'D' when rotated. . so making 'B' look like 'B' in the centre. . i was left with yet another difficult task of 'E' representing 'R'. . so i got solution of it from a blog of "NAGFA's" where there was a similar solution so i just incorporated that in this. .
Deb sir was a senior of mine in collage n helped me out a lot. . so thought would make one for his birthday which was on 24th Jan. . Since i was struggling with this ambigram. . i kept it aside. .
so here it goes Happy B'day Deb sir once again!! hope u like it. .

AKHILA SHETTY

2009-01-31T04:25:00.004+05:30

This was a request. . i had been asked by this person for AKHILA SHETTY earlier but thought with just do AKHILA. . As in SHETTY the 'Ts' n 'Y' would get messy. . so left it. . but after making AKHILA. . was asked 2 try n make of the whole name. . Seems like this person had been trying 2 make a full name one but it just kept getting messy. . so was asked 2 try. . i was coming with some solutions but was getting littled messed up. . after coming up with this the 'S' - 'L' was getting little difficult. . finally everything seemed 2 have worked well. .

By the way AKHILA. . sorry for delay n hope u like it. .

SHAYANIKA

2009-01-31T04:22:00.003+05:30

Vijayeta asked just 2 make 'URMI'. . thought would use the same style as used for her full name. .

AVIRAL

2009-01-28T20:33:00.003+05:30

A requested one. . i feel its always good 2 start off the basic with hands. . n finally the computer takes u into exploring to its maximum. . n this is where it takes time. . but results r always good. . had good time doing this. .

AMEYA

2009-01-28T10:34:00.003+05:30

AKSHAT

2009-01-27T19:54:00.004+05:30

JENNY

2009-01-27T18:54:00.003+05:30

was done with this for sometime but was too lazy for the final draft. . sat down a list of the ones 2 b made. . surprised by the number. . 15 in list so this is just the first one. . hope u like it. .

URMI DAVDA

2009-01-23T21:04:00.003+05:30

Vijayeta asked this for her sister. . the name URMI was small . . so told her i would do her full name which would look better. . i was done wid the sketch day before. . but i was too lazy yesterday to any work on the comp. .
so thought of searching for some old english font on the net to use in this. ambigram. . n i happen 2 find many which could be used in it. . But i settled with 2-3 fonts in this. . it was a pain taking task 2 use right combinations. . finally happy with wat i achieved in the end. .

IN LOVE & ADDICTED. .

2009-01-21T07:39:00.004+05:30

i remember when i started playing 'text twirl' in facebook. . it seemed fun but after a while got so addictive 2 it that i kept playing for hours n hours. . and came 2 state where ever i saw a word the texts just kept twirling around me trying to make as many words as possible. . same is the situation right now. . any word i see i just make ambigrams of it in my mind. . its just words n words all over my mind that keps rotating n rotating ow then. . feels like i am in trance with ambigrams. . n lastly in love with these creation. . n i know how it feels when u see such creation for the first time. . fascinated n blows ur mind off. . its surely one of the most interesting things i have ever come accross n making one takes me 2 a higher stage of trance. . may be i will just keep on going n going about it. . guess its better i just keep coming n coming more of this creation. .

ANANT

2009-01-21T00:40:00.004+05:30

had in mind 2 use the letters as normal n simple as possible. . when i first sketched it was in a cursive stlye. . but after i started doing it in photoshop i just kept on modifing the style. . n finally i ended up like this. . eventually i was pleased with the end results. . its very simple n yet appealing. . should add i really love this one. . Anyways this was a request too. . Also have a good friend by this name. . so bhai this is ones for u too. .

AKHILA

2009-01-20T23:38:00.003+05:30

Requested one. . came up with this very fast. . thought of using more of a calligraphic style 2 this as gothic style was getting stuck 2 mind. . diversion from it surely made me achieve this. .

SRISHTI

2009-01-20T20:52:00.003+05:30

Requested ambigram. . Had a good time doing this. . i guess it came out better with hand. . the combination of 'IS' to looks like 'H' seems cool according 2 me. . 3 more to come soon. .

AKASH

2009-01-20T19:19:00.004+05:30

A requested one. . looks really cool. . i was just scribbling n making some random curves n then saw this request n i just thought 2 try out those curves on this name. . its just fitted right with lots of tilting n all. . though 'A' was little tricky 2 place. . i guess overall it just fits in right. .
Hope Akash likes it. . n also should thank him for making me explore. . thanks dude!!!

JOEL R.PIO JOHN

2009-01-20T17:50:00.005+05:30

I had talked 2 him last week n he was like u haven't made for me one. . so just jokingly i told him u never asked me one. . the thing was that i had never completed his. . always left it half way through. . then he asked me for a full name of his. . challenging it was i must say. . the 'O' s were giving me a tough time. . i guess i was in very good mood today. . happy n relieved i must add. . it just got the best out of me. . i ended up making 6 ambigrams in total. . so will be uploading them soon. . hope he gets some time 2 go through it as he is always busy. . n more than all that he likes it. .

ARPITA

2009-01-19T11:14:00.003+05:30

A requested one. .

DIBESH

2009-01-18T16:33:00.003+05:30

another Requested ambigram. . jus lookin at it. . i think a mirror ambigram . could also b made easily. . will try tat also. .

SOHAM

2009-01-16T06:02:00.004+05:30

Another requested one. . vijayeta had asked this for her mom. . so here it is. .

didn't knew wat 2 do with the background. . running short of ideas i guess. . so jus left it blank. .

ANGELA

2009-01-16T05:55:00.004+05:30

A requested ambigram i made. . its not a symmetrical one 2 say. . the capital 'G' when rotated 180 degress it represents small 'g'. .

updating soon. .

2009-01-15T16:54:00.002+05:30

have a fresh list of names. . would be updating soon. . was gettin lil bored n tired of it lately. . so needed this break. .

MUKUL

2009-01-11T09:54:00.002+05:30

A requested ambigram. . Mukul hope u like it. . very simple. .

NIDHI PATEL

2009-01-11T05:32:00.005+05:30

Well i made this very fast. . the name was given as a suprise 2 me. . so i jus wanted 2 get it done as soon as possible. . i just did normal calligraphy n it was over. .

Someone had asked me 2 take 'SYMBIOTOGRAM' (which means an ambigram when rotated 180 degrees, can be read as a different word from the original) as a challenge. . its not impossible. . its jus words after all. . i guess the difficult is something which could be done and the impossible is something which would need time. . so if its impossible then jus give me time. .

so if u all see carefully the name 'NIDHI' when rotated would be read as 'PATEL'. . cool isn't it???. . its very interesting to do these types of ambigrams. .

SAAD NAWAB

2009-01-11T05:23:00.003+05:30

This nawab had asked me for his offering me a treat in exchange. . i have lost count of his treats. . some day i will take it all together. .

Btw i hope u like it. . agar acha na lage to bata dena. . will do the required changes. .

i got fed up . . iritated doin this. . the 'W' n 'B' was a big pain. .

JAIDEEP

2009-01-11T05:12:00.003+05:30

Well to say i had many problems making this one. . for once i had 2 make this again. . n i wanted 2 make it different frm the earlier one i had made. . i jus hope its could be read easily. . anyways for making easy for u all. . the 'A' wen inverted looks 'EE' n the 'ID' is combined. .

TRIPTI

2009-01-11T05:05:00.003+05:30

I had 2 make this again. . Tripti Didi wanted hers badly i guess. . so i was left with no choice than 2 make it again. . i jus hope she likes it. . its the fastest of all the ambigrams i have made. .

SWASTIKA

2009-01-10T07:43:00.004+05:30

This one ajita had asked for her niece. . i hope she likes it. . had a really tough time makin 'W' look like 'IK'. . hoping tat u all might be able to read it. .

RASHEDA

2009-01-09T15:08:00.004+05:30

Got this done just yesterday. . Rasheda had asked me to make for her. . looks cool to me. . dont know abt u all ppl. .well didnt have to do much work on this expect for only 'S' to make it look like 'E'. . As far as 'R' to look like 'A' and 'A' to make it look like 'D' have been taken from my earlier ambigrams. . I guess this way i would jus save lot of time. . there r 2-3 more new ones comin. .

ADNAN SALMAN

2009-01-08T23:48:00.003+05:30

I had done Adnan's ambigram some few years back n it looked good enough. . but after making my sister's full name. . i thought would try the same for adnan. . i was having lots problems with 'NA' when inverted would be 'LM' . . i guess i managed quite well. . i giess tat is the best i like in this ambigram. .

I guess the name TUBA was small 2 make one so i thought i will try with the whole name. . n again i wanted to incorporate the similar style tat used for 'VIJAYETA'. . i really loved this one. . this was first ambigram tat i made without a calligraphy pen. . i completely made this one intially with pencil. . If u see the 'S' n 'A' i have used from 'Angels & demon' ambigram. . i thought tat it would look nice in whole. . its surely one of my best. . N i really wanted to make something really special for my little sister. . its lengendarry for me. . hope would be the same for u all. .

Every time i made or tried making some ambigram. . i always had this little girl's name on back of my mind. . n everytime i felt something or another was missing wen ever i made one in my mind. .

so i browsing through some ambigrams. .I had seen a similar 'V' in tat ambigram so decided to use this 'V'. . but the difficult was to complete it. . . . so i thought for myself tat this style would be perfect for her name. . i guess there is no harm in getting inspired by others work as long u can do justice to it. . i hope i had done complete justice to it. .

RITESH. . after trying lots combinations. . finally i made this. .

usually i have an habbit of takin single alphabets. . tats how i start off. . but wen i am not satisfied with it. . i try lots of combinations. . even with the combinations i couldnt come out tat gr8. .

I had made many ambigrams n never made one for this person. . every time i start i usually end up giving up making hers. . so this time tried 2 make hers. . this one was the first one i made in new house we recently got. . i guess i started to feel lots of positive energy in this house. . so it was the first time i had come to this house n finalise the deal with broker n onwer. . out of boredom waiting for the broker i had started making Raajita's ambigram in my small book which i had recently started carrying a lot. . n couldnt believe within few minutes i was able 2 finish the ambigram. . i guess it came out good. . much much better than always wat i started off with. . hope i get bored some day again n find some new place. . n hope for even a better one than this. .

Though when i was asked by Anjum to make one for her. . i guess she didnt like it. . sayin some else had made one for her it was different frm wat i made. . believe me even i didnt like it at all but i guess atleast tat would be appreciated after all is wat i thought. . but i was wrong. . i guess it was way too bad at that time. . i guess with calligraphy skills getting better i was able to achieve something like this. .

Sweet n simple is only thing tat i could say to this. . nothing more needs to be added i feel. . it looks gr8 in itself. .

SAMEER

way too simple i guess. . looks nice though. . couldnt do anything special with till now. . really want try out something unique with this 2 make it look awesome. .

This one looks awesome according 2 me. . Adil had come 2 me askin me 2 make an ambigram of my full name. . i took this as an challenge n started off. . i really didn't knew what to do with it. . At tat point of time i was really influenced by the arabic style of calligraphy so thought if i could implement some of those in this would be gr8. . this is basically a confluence of classical and contemporary style in calligraphy. .

ARVIND

2009-01-07T23:05:00.002+05:30

Initially i had made this. . i looked quite gr8. . for the fact i did it by hand. . i thought will remake this on photoshop. . As i started it i didnt like the way it turned out in photoshop. . though it looks little difficult 2 read out. . so i thought of making it easier to read n make it more simple as possible. . i had come up with another of this. . As u can see initially i had combined 'AR' to make it look like 'ND' but later on i had combined 'RV' to look 'N' wen inverted. . But the only thing with this is tat it looked so blank so thought of simplifying it even more. .So finally I made it look as straight as possible and also i made 'A' n 'D' make look very very simple n i guess the final result looks good. .

SUCHARITA

2009-01-07T22:05:00.001+05:30

I really had tuff time making this ambigram. . the name itself was big for me so converting each letter to represnt was very difficult. . Initially wen i tried making this 3 yrs back, i left it half way thro' finding it very difficult 2 complete it. . but this time no matter wat i jus wanted 2 complete it. . so i did it. . but it didnt turn out tat gr8 initially but constant changes i guess it came out good . . but by now i was really tired of making art works around it. . cos it takes lot of time as i had a long list names 2 cover up. . But now i feel like doing something extra-ordinary with all empty ones to make 2 look even better. . some day i would surely do it. .

AJITA

This was most easiest n simplest of all the ambigrams i ever made. . i really didnt have do anything at all with it. . i guess anyone would have come with this one. . wat was difficult was art work around it. . i didnt want 2 repeat wat i had done with earlier two of them. . as tat kind of art work would have outdone the ambigram so i thought to make it look simple n yet appealing . . i guess the result says for itself. . jus to achieve this simplicity it took a lot more time than any of the ambigrams i have ever made. .

This is my ambi. . i really had though time with the 'R' n 'H' . . mayb still i havent done justice completely. . the art work around it makes look cool i guess. . please suggest me the possibilities of 'R' n "H'. .

SUJATHA

2009-01-05T18:07:00.002+05:30

This is ambigram is of a friend of mine 'SUJATHA' and its the first I had ever tried. Though with time and lots of efforts it turned out to become this way. Initially it looked a little different when I first made this 3 years back.Since I didnt have a scanner I had to make the whole of it in photoshop. . it took 2 days to complete it. . n I was happy that I could achieve what I had achieved with my hand but only taking lots of time and patience. .I still the design around it makes it look a little complex which i think should be simplified. . Now that is only possible when I am really bored to death and feel like doing ambigrams again. .But after making 2-3 ambigrams on photoshop I got little used to it and with time became faster. .

2009-01-05T16:51:00.000+05:30

Hi all. . thank you for taking ur time to go thru my blog. . its my first. . so i just hope i do justice to it. .
Anyways the first time i ever saw an ambigram was 4 years when i was reading this 'Angels and Demons' . . i was just mesmerised when i saw the word "ILLUMINATI". . I kept on rotating it seeing the same thing again and again. . i jus got too lost in the ambigram that i never ended up finishing the book. .
But eventually i started trying ambigrams out boredom from arabic calligraphy (this is something i really wanna learn as i find the most difficult . .) thats wen i thought of giving a try to ambigrams. .
Suprisingly the first ambigram i ever tried never happened to be of my name. . 'SUJATHA' was my first ambigram. . i jus wasnt happy with results at that time so i gave up after a few days. . After a fews months i started again n this time getting better n better with every ambigram i was making. . Soon again gave up cos i got bored of doing it. .
now after vry long time i again started doing it and this time i thought i will make it in comp. . if i jus had a scanner my job would have been much easier but i am glad short of options led me take the difficult path of doing whole thing from scratch in photoshop. . intially it took me lot of time but with time and patience i kept gettin better faster n good doing it in photoshop. .
