	About Ambigrams
		An ambigram is the expression of a word or phrase that can be read in more than one way.
		I prefer to do ambigrams that are calligraphic, appearing to come naturally from a human hand.
		In ambigrams, often a part of one letter or parts of several letters will correspond to different parts of letters when viewed upside down.

	Word.Net's Ambigram Q&A
		Ambigram n., - a word or words that can be read in more than one way or from more than a single vantage point.
		While many ambigrams are verbally symmetric (the word is the same both ways, like "mow"), verbally asymmetric ambigrams (the words are different, like "mom" and "wow") allow the ambigrammist to include a double meaning in the design.
		Ambigrams are great to use on all sorts of round objects, such as buttons, tires, tops, balls, Frisbees, etc., which might be viewed from more than one vantage point.

		In a normal rotation or mirror-image ambigram, the position of each letter in relationship to the others is fixed — it can’t be moved around for the convenience of symmetry.

	Ambigrams by Brett J. Gilbert
		An ambigram (also known by the more literal moniker ‘inversion’) is a symmetric design that often reads the same when turned upside down.
		This design wasn’t completely spontaneous, but this was my first and only attempt at drawing it and I think it came off rather well (if it had gone wrong I guess I could simply have waited for the tide to come in).
		A particularly pleasing example of the art of the ambigram, which turned out much better and much smarter than it started out.
