Ambigram: Azad


This ambigram completes the set of ambigrams for the PAN loop.

For those not in the know, the PAN loop is a group of hostels in IITKgp - both infamous and famous. P stands for Patel Hall of Residence. A for Azad Hall of Residence and N for Nehru Hall of Residence.

How is it? Have any modifications to suggest? Do let me know.

P.S: I got bored with the regular ambigram. So I inverted the colours - nothing special. Just an attempt to do away with boredom.

Other Ambigrams I designed

Jazzonomics, Patel, DPS RKP, Nehru, Mainak

Ambigram: Jazzonomics

It has been a while since my last post (A week?!). I have been shifting my hostel room in the last few days. Now, I am a proud Nehruite! :D

And if you haven't had a look at the ambigram of Nehru that I designed, you can check it out here. That reminds me: I haven't posted an ambigram for a long time!

So here is an ambigram that I made - of Jazzonomics - in Roman script. Yeah! I have been trying to design ambigrams in other scripts - without much success though :(
If you observe - ONO is a natural ambigram. That made my task easier! :D

The rest though was tough - I had to wrestle a lot with the letters.

Nevertheless, I am posting the ambigram - since a considerable amount of effort went into it.

How is it? Do let me know.

Ambigram: Patel

Patel is the first hall that makes the (in)famous PAN loop in IITKgp.

P stands for Patel. A for Azad and N for Nehru. The ambigram for Nehru that I made is here.

The base font is - Agency FB. It has been modified to get the ambigram.

How is it? Do you have any modifications to suggest? Do let me know.

Ambigram: Nehru

Nehru is the name of the new Hall of Residence which I have been allotted in IITKgp.

It turned out to be an almost natural ambigram - a few tweaks here and there, and voila! the ambigram is ready!

I resorted to a little bit of cheating (not in the conventional sense though!).

All the letters are in Comic Sans. I did not try making the alphabet myself. Just modified the existing ones.

How is it? Do let me know.

My Alma Mater: DPS RK Puram


This is a rotational ambigram I created in MS Paint. The prototype was made on paper - but the final image was created on Paint. 

As a result, I had to create only half of the ambigram. The other half was just copy, rotate & paste. The colour is the same we had on our school uniform.

How is it? Do let me know.

Ambigram: Old Monk



This is my second ambigram of my name 'Mainak'. Couldn't get it as well as I wished to have it.

The 'k' could have been better. Plus the ambigram is not very symmetric. I'll try to improve upon my mistakes later.


Do let me know how my second ambigram turned out to be. How do you find it in comparison to my first ambigram? Do let me know.

Ambigram: Mainak

This is my first attempt at an ambigram. This was the product of an otherwise unproductive Maths class - yes the same one which I had bunked.

And if you are wondering what I have written - that is my first name - Mainak. I actually did not imagine that I would be able to produce an ambigram out of my name. However, this try has left me thirsty for more. I am presently working on producing an ambigram out of my name in a font which I call Old Monk.

More of Old Monk and others in a later post though.

N.B. - This image has been scanned directly with no added effects. However, I would be glad to hear your suggestions.
