Ambigram of My Name - Alec Rios
It’s a little rough as it came straight from a scan, but I’m proud to present to you my first ambigram (it still reads “Alec Rios” when rotated 180 degrees).
After being inspired by ambigram logos and particularly the work of John Langdon, I started sketching fragments and ideas for an ambigram of my own name. One week and several paper balls later, I came up with a rough draft to work off of. The last step was to refine it and trace it with a pen. Overall, the outcome was worth the paper cuts and dizziness from rotating the paper back and forth so much. Let me know what you think in the comments.
Even though it’s the same name 180 degrees after rotation, but honestly it looks like graffiti more that anything..
but for the first time.. looks good. :D
Thanks for your comment, Shahzad.
I’ve had a go at ambigram logos before and they are harder than they look to get a really smooth looking one. I think you’ve done a really good job!
It really is a lot harder than it looks and I was already intimidated before I started working on this one, so I’m glad I was able to come up with something I was satisfied with. Thank you for your comment, Lucinda.
