Ambigram

First encounter this unique art 3 years back when reading "Angel & Demon".
The resurgence of an ancient secret brotherhood known as the Illuminati... the most powerful underground organization ever to walk the earth. The word "ILLUMINATI" was written in ambigram.
The Illuminati has surfaced from the shadows to carry out the final phase of its legendary vendetta against its most hated enemy... the Catholic Church.

An ambigram, also sometimes known as an inversion, is a typographical design or artform that may be read as one or more words not only in its form as presented, but also from another viewpoint, direction or orientation. The words readable in the other viewpoint, direction or orientation may be the same or different from the original words.

Below is a sample of "ILLUMINATI" and "EARTH, AIR, FIRE & WATER"written in ambigram...

Hi, can't help noticing; your name is 'Segamat' (somewhere in Johore Bahru, Malaysia) spelled backwards?

Those ambigrams from Flipscript's Glyphusion?

we design ambigrams, too.
