Yeah the people at phpbb for free decided to change the urls. They then relised that that was a bad idea... so they changed it back.

Just a note that my ambigram page is open for business -- not that I'm conducting any business there. I've been meaning to do it for several years, but thanks to your interest, I finally got around to it. Thanks for the motivation.

After all these teasers, see the entire collection:

I love my name It looks so much like it was just writen

What are you going to do with all of those?

Is it posiible to do
The bad astronomer? or just BA?



Great work =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D>

[Sock puppet]

I love the "Feynman". Showed it to all my friends. Problem is, most of them have little interest in physics, so I had to explain what feynman diagrams were. And who he was. I don't really care- the ones that got it all thought it was great.

01101001, my brother (Dave) saw his name and loved it. May I use that design to stencil it on his bike? If so, do I have to include a rotationally symmetric ©?

[01101001]

I love the "Feynman".

I think I wrote that the Feynman includes a real sine wave in its interior, generated from a math program, an homage to the Feynman-diagram photon symbol (and is hence it is more unreadable than I prefer to do).

A tiny little © 01101001 (or two!) would be appreciated, just in case someone from mega-corporation Dave, Inc. sees it on your bro's nike and wants to use it as their logo. A stencil? That might make it hard. If you can just sneak a © in there, it's OK.

The bad astronomer? or just BA?

I tried a The Bad Astronomer and while you'd probably read it that way it was just too awfully ugly for publication. Maybe it will come eventually. BA is just too easy. I can just steal the letters from my two versions of Baby -- perhaps improved a bit because it wouldn't also have to have Y-nature when flipped another way.



I just tried a The BA and it's got potential. Here's a sketch:



I put it in my to-do pile. Maybe some day...

[The Bad Astronomer]

Not to bump an old thread, but while looking around for other science blogs, I found an extraordinarily well-written one called "Science Musings". He once wrote about ambigrams.

The "Lewis Carroll" one is extraordinary! Wonder how he'd do with "Charles Lutwidge Dodgson"?

I do believe this is my favorite one, thus far.

[01101001]

I do believe this is my favorite one, thus far.

Thanks. It's barely similar to the sketch I started out with. That had much better penmanship. Along the way, I started using a certain curve -- a quarter of an elilipse -- and found that by keeping the segments from touching I could use the same curve throughout, even if it made the letters more goofy. Only the bowl of the R needed slightly more of that ellipse to get a bit more roundness.

I think it's interesting how a brain can extract some meaning from such a bunch of unconnected curves.

Just for fun, the S is meant to (barely) suggest a barred galaxy.

[01101001]

Ever notice how with a black hole it can be hard to tell which way is up?

While sitting around waiting for Deep Impact to do something, I doodled:

Deep Impact

[Stardate]

Neat thread! =D>

[Iris]

These are real works of art... I am really amazed. :P You're a genius!

[01101001]

These are real works of art... I am really amazed. :P You're a genius!

Thanks. Really, it's just a quirky habbit.

Ma'am, recently I discovered some mirror-symmetry lurking in the word Sir. So, I knew there must be some in Iris, too. I don't suppose you ever noticed how an infinite sequence of Irises, in a mirror, looks like an infinite sequence of Irises:

[Iris]

Well that one is probably the prettiest of 'em all. :P </lackofmodesty>

You're really good, I wouldn't have thought about it myself! And no matter how much you say it's just a quirky habit, you have to DO it. It's not everyone that can see symmetry in everything like you do!

But do you often do long words? Like let's say... Michelle? :P

[01101001]

But do you often do long words? Like let's say... Michelle? :P

Longer words get harder, and I've done some but they tend to look less refined, less readable, but thanks for asking about one I already did, Michelle:



And not long ago, I did the slightly longer Italian version, Michelina:



(To save you the trouble of asking about others, my entire collection is here. And, there are a few other collections out on the Web, probably best found through the Wikipedia: Ambigram.)

[Iris]

Oh! I have been to your website, but I somehow missed that one. :P How rude of me. Nice one too!

Thank you for the other site too!

Hey, here's a really quick one I did of myself in paint 2 minutes ago:

[01101001]

So, for the Jupiter Image topic, I did this ambigram of Jupiter:



I could hardly let the other planets feel left out, so I began doodling and came up with an interesting Earth, that required the chaining technique, but serendipitously includes a play on heart:



Encouraged, I went on to do sketches of much of the menagerie:













Well, now I know where I come down on the question of Pluto. I couldn't do a Pluto. Pluto must not be a planet.

[01101001]

OK, here's a fun astronomical ambigram, Equinox:



The half-blackness of the design wasn't required for symmetry -- in fact, it breaks symmetry on one level -- but I whimsically wanted exactly half the pixels to be black and half to be white.

Recently, I (barely) managed another scientist, Darwin:



And running out of doable scientists, I tried some artists of a scientific bent, DaVinci and Jules Verne:

I couldn't do a Pluto. Pluto must not be a planet.

And now it is!

[01101001]

Well, there I was, with the BAUT conversion going on, no BABB to waste my free time on, so I did a little ambigram for my new Universe friends.

Universe:



What is it? Why? Huh? Review this entire thread.

I also doodled a Cain, but it's not ready for prime time. Heh.
