An Ambigram Combines Two Names into OneAn ambigram is the combining of two names into one. In the samples above the name reads Laurie when you look at it right side up and it reads Mark when you turn it upside down. It is also sometimes known as an inversion, a graphical figure that spells out one or more words not only in its form as presented, but also in another direction or orientation. The text spelled out in the other direction or orientation is often the same, but can also be a different text. Douglas R. Hofstadter describes an ambigram as a "calligraphic design that manages to squeeze two different readings into the selfsame set of curves."
