I just made this new sig. Its an ambigram of my name. Can you read it? What do you think.

It looks better here (http://www.themaxexp.com/Flash/MaxGialanella%20Ambigram.swf).

i like the attempt, but to be honest, there's little chance that it's realistically readable. I got "maxgina" from the first half and no idea from the second... then i read your name in the Title, and i can kinda see it now but it's still kinda hard.

having said that, ambigrams are crazy hard.

i wouldn't have gotten "maxgina" if it hadn't been stated before i saw it..

not really an ambigram, just distorted letters that you mirrored and flipped vertically.

it should look more like one word rather and a reflection, that what makes them a challenge.

ex: Zoonooz, a San Diego zoo publication for the public. (same as Zoo News)

it reads the same front to back and back to front.

It was hard to make, but it was only a first try. You can bet that you will see another one. Thanks guys.

nice try but as others have said its kinda hard to make out.

i made one in my portfolio, http://www.reintroducing.com, scroll down to Matthew Ambigram in the top left box.

actually that is an ambigram guinness. The angels and demons logo is an ambigram but If you spell angels and demon backswords it doent spell the same thing forwards. The zoonooz is also and example. Actually I dont think there called Ambigram's but instead Anagrams.
