Organic ambigram

Hey,

Making my first ambigram, let me know what you think?

This isn't for a client, just a small project I felt like doing :)

It's beautiful. Now if only I could read it...

Cheers!

Yeah it's been hard trying to make it as legible as possible, but I guess after looking at a lot of ambigrams, quite a lot are hard to read :(

agree - it's gorgeous. But I can't read it either.

I love ambigrams too. Please keep trying!

would be good to see how it looks on a plain white background, when the logo is reduced in size i think you are going to have to lose the faded floral from behind as i can see this causing you problems.
Also try flipping the right hand side of the floral 180 degrees vertically, so that there is symmetry to the pattern, something is not quite right with it, i think its because the flicks on the ends are pointing the same direction, )) , if that makes sense??

very nice .

16 billion colours and you choose the one i cant create !??!

Wonderful, but don't like the background. Think it could explore the inner space. :)

yes I'm brazilian xD

it's very pretty.

but while ambigrams can be difficult to read sometimes, they shouldn't be impossible to read. i'm guessing if you polled everyone here to send you what they thought it said in a private message, you'd be lucky to get 2-3 answers that were the same. that's not good. at that point, it becomes purely artistic and not typographic at all.

Christ, this would make one bitching tattoo. You'd just need to thicken up those lines a little.

Looks like you are getting good at this. I would like to see it on a plain background. It is hard to read, but sometimes I think hard to read it a good thing, especially when it is ornate.

i read "oryhojo".

I have an ambigram tattoo on my back

it's not as ornate as yours, not as colorful either, but if you can fix it up, it's gonna be awesome.
