Ambigram: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 00:36, 15 March 2025

An ambigram is a graphic, most often written text, that has a visual symmetry or otherwise remains a coherent image after a transformation is applied. A common style of ambigram is one which looks identical when flipped 180 degrees; one example of a rotational ambigram is binbig.
