Ambigrams by Roopak Suri

Angel/Devil

This is my first attempt at an oscillation ambigram. It reads Angel and Devil at the same time. (No inversion or reflection here). The inspirations for the word combination come from John Langdon's "Angels and Demons" and "Angels and Devils" by M.C. Escher. Everything in our life is relative..what may be good for one may turn out to be bad for someone else...it all depends upon your persepective (glass can be half full or half empty!). This design tries to bring out such irony.

World Of Ambigram - NAC entry

Here's my design entry for the Nagfa's Ambigram Challenge (NAC) series for this month. The phrase ambigrammed is "World of Ambigram".

This project is based on the lines of Langdon's Grid Project wherein notable ambigrammers would submit their own ambigram designs for a single word/phrase. As a result of that project, many stunning works (like Langdon's entry for "me/you") were created.

I'm really happy to be a part of this exercise which calls for uniting ambigram enthusiasts and provides an opportunity for all of us to learn from each other's styles so that we can unleash more creativity in our future designs.

Three cheers to Nagfa for NAC!

Ambigram T-Shirts for my college

The students of my college are now rolling out with the college t-shirt containing the ambigram of my college designed by me. Here are the front and back views. While the front contains the ambigram, the back has a tribal tattoo (also done by me) and the name of the college in blackletter font. All the students and alumni of my college who would like to have such t-shirts can order them by mail.

Here are the designs -
