Have you ever seen a word and then read it backwards? An example of an anambigram is this. A word or words that may be read in more than one direction and still make sense when turned upside down or backwards are called ambigrams (from Latin: ambiboth +gram= letter).

Former editor of The Enigma, the magazine of The National Puzzlers League, Judith E. Bagai coined the term “ambigram” to describe an ambiguous anagram.

There are many different kinds of ambigrams, including reflecting, 3-dimensional, and rotating ones, but the most common and fundamental is the rotational ambigram, in which a word or words, when rotated both horizontally and vertically, still spell the same phrase as before.

Currently, ambigrams are utilised in graphic design, commercial logos, book covers, tattoo artworks and music CDs. Graphic designers use these typographic works of art because of their symmetry and optical illusions.

When ambigrams were heavily included in Dan Brown’s best-selling book, Angels & Demons, they significantly increased in popularity. Any word can be transformed into an ambigram with enough time and imagination.

Here are 40 incredibly cool and original ambigrams I’ve collected. Without further ado, let’s begin craning our necks to try to see them from an upside-down perspective:)
