Ambigram (cont.)

ryantauss

I am continuing my Ambigram project. I want fresh eyes to overlook it.

How to look at it:

For those who don’t know about ambigrams. An ambigrams can be a word read one way and be rotated 180 degrees to be read as the same word or a different word. Therefore,

Read this word (or type out the letters you see in order you see them) then look at the 180 degree rotation of the word and read it (or type out the letters seen in order seen)

It is a fun little puzzle if you will for those who take the time to look at it. So have fun and give good feed back if you want. It would be appreciated.

Hint: it is a first and last name

reads to me as:

Rynn Guss

knowing that it’s your 1st and last name, the ’T’ in Tauss is too ambiguous to be recognized as a part of it. the ’a’ in Ryan looks just like an ’n’

Spire

I read “Ssan ’Guss”.

You might want to try a two-story a, open on the right side, for the a in Tauss. I think that could be made into a curvy cap N or lowercase n with a tail.

Thanks not only for the comment, but for the “Great” example. It really helped me see what you are suggesting and has given me ideas.
