Ambigram Design for Jihwan/Sewon
“Thanks for your work, and hope you can do such a great work like this time if I need any more designs later on.” – customer feedback on Jihwan/Sewon ambigram
Jayden saw this website of my ambigrams and liked them. They sent this request to my email address. They also prefered that I use an English font for the ambigram.
I studied the design for a few days. Looking at it, I knew I’d get problems designing the letter W. How do I design a W such that it when inverted will still look like a W and not a letter M? Tough one. Later, I saw that the H-O inversion was even more difficult.
One way to design the W without making it look like an M is to make the sides curved. It is seldon seen for an M to have curve lines but a W having curves is more popular. Thus, this helps the eyes distinguish the letter more as a W than an M.
H-O inversion was designed similar to the Anthony ambigram. I tried to embed the lower case H inside an O pattern. The O was a bit thin and has a lot of white space in the middle. This helps make the H more visible. I overlapped the O with the W a little bit to maintain good spacing between the characters.
Some ornaments were added to the final design and another revision was made. But the customer might consider using the simple design above.
