This is one of the ambigrams used in Angels in Demons, standing for the name of the group. See how the spaces in letters aid in the making of such an ambigram. The disjointed style of “a” helps to create two “l” at the beginning.

Yesterday I tried my hand at making a more fluid-looking ambigram of my name. Sufficed to say, it wasn’t easy at the beginning, but I think I ended up with something that has at least an inch of readability.

I ended up changing the style of the “R” from an uppercase to a lowercase letter – saved me a lot of headache and made it look much more fluid in the end.

And that’s the final sketch. I still want to render it in a vector program for easy handling later on and to make it truly symmetrical.

For easy anagram-making, check out this website. It appears to be using a specially adapted font for this sort of thing. What’s more, I’m amazed at the instant results. Seemingly anything can be fitted to spell anything both ways.
