Ambigrams


Optical Illusion - John Langdon, 1999

Optical Illusion - John Langdon Can you see why this painting is called optical illusion ? You may not see it at first, but the white spaces read the word optical, the blue landscape reads the word illusion. See for yourself !

Harry Potter - Punya Mishra

Harry Potter - Punya Mishra A very astounding design. Not only because the words Harry Potter can be turned upside down, but also because the font is a bit reminiscent of the original one. They should put this on the cover of the next book.

Good - Evil - Punya Mishra
