Welcome to Ambigrams Vol.2! As I already stated I am currently loving making ambigrams. So much that I originally I planned to make one design per day, for the whole year. And although I haven’t failed yet, strictly speaking, I think it was a long shot. Anyways, I had a lot of practice and fun with this second batch, and learned a couple of things along the way.
The following designs were done on an iPad Pro, with Apple Pencil, using procreate. However, they are 100% hand drawn. Sometimes I tried to mimic a specific font style but that’s all. I also made my own custom brushes, to get the desired calligraphy effect.
Festive Designs
![Merry Christmas ambigram](https://ioannaladopoulou.design/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/A4C353EA-FAC5-4193-B28E-860923FCD261-1024x768.jpeg)
This one was done while on holidays, to be shared on social media. Added some noise and shadows for a more Christmassy effect!
![Happy Holidays ambigram](https://ioannaladopoulou.design/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/78E37921-14E0-469E-921C-72026E3324B0-1024x512.jpeg)
Another festive Design. Trickier than normally, but I love challenges. Added a gold texture this time.
Tattoo quotes
Originally I was drawn to ambigrams due to their versatility as tattoo designs. So, I wanted to have some practice. Chose a few popular quotes, and this is what I came up with:
![Think Twice Ambigram](https://ioannaladopoulou.design/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/8BDB2860-7EC5-4DED-88F5-F04885E18DF0-1024x395.jpeg)
Tricky to design and tricky for you to make it out! Sorry guys, but ambigrams aren’t always a piece of cake…
![Semper Fidelis ambigram](https://ioannaladopoulou.design/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/39384A06-7771-4D0C-8331-069EED9F6587.jpeg)
For this one, I searched the internet for popular Latin phrases, and Semper Fidelis was one of the most common. In the next Latin phrase ambigram, I will try to mimic a more medieval font.
![It’s a Matter of Perspective ambigram](https://ioannaladopoulou.design/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/2B1583E3-2F2B-4808-849A-FDAB82F849C7-1024x600.jpeg)
I don’t know if this one is a famous phrase, but it’s certainly my personal motto. Yep, yep, yep, it is always a matter of perspective, especially for optimistic people like me who like to see the glass half-full (at least most of the times). And what a fitting quote for an ambigram, right?
Superheroes
Superheroes were mostly featured in that post . In this current post, I made a small addition to the team.
![The Arrow ambigram](https://ioannaladopoulou.design/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/613A7C82-611D-4341-9380-9D29AA99F608-1024x777.jpeg)
Random Words and phrases
![Normal - Boring Ambigram](https://ioannaladopoulou.design/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/97036DE0-493D-4FDC-8AD8-EA41B3AA6C0B.jpeg)
Cause normal IS boring. So, time to flip the word, right? 😉
![Wonderland ambigram](https://ioannaladopoulou.design/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/62DBC429-7E75-4991-B8E8-BA0417115876.jpeg)
A simple on-word ambigram. Here I tried to mimic the font used in “Alice in Wonderland” poster.
![Destiny ambigram](https://ioannaladopoulou.design/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/66B204F9-93E1-4EB0-B076-46B1B5F46348-300x174.jpeg)
Another one-word ambigram. Because simplicity is everything when it comes to one’s own “destiny”.
![Love - Magic Ambigram](https://ioannaladopoulou.design/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/B1F86C8A-EB12-4558-B461-C8B2BF7567FF-300x280.jpeg)
I wanted to create something with the word “love” but the problem was that everything was already done. There are countless ambigrams on the internet using the word “love”. Love-love, love-trust, love-faith, love-pain, etc etc etc. I kinda wanted to make something original and this is what I came up with.
And the last design, which I made for a YouTube video.
![Thank you for watching ambigram](https://ioannaladopoulou.design/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/E8B14BC0-6430-4FFA-B552-4C39EDCFCADF-300x225.jpeg)
So… thank you for reading this everyone! More ambigrams to come!

Would you create an ambigram for someone? What would your fee be?
Unfortunately I don’t do such work any more, I’m very sorry. In any case, I hope you will have the perfect ambigram created!
