Hour Glass


Hour glass, If you look at this word it is not easy to visualise it upside down.
hour Glass now we can see the small 'h' and 's' they can
be mapped. I used the upper curve 'S' for 'h'. Mapping of 'o' to 's' is a little abstruse but it fits well here. As always 'u' and 'A' are natural one letter ambigrams so not much problem there. The mapping of r and L is also easy.

The letter 'G' was the centre letter for this ambigram and it need some embellishment. It was need to be a vivid design so that the ambigram would look natural. The design that i have used is a modification from one of the ambigrams done by Nikita Prokhorov. He had made use of the letter 'G' in a very good way, so it struck my mind to incorporate that design into my ambigram with some changes.

The design came to my mind when i was working in the office. I used a marker and desk to create a initial draft of this design. If you had seen the initial design it was not neat but it was clear. So the final design revolved around the initial design.

As always thanks to inkscape, a powerful vector drawing tool.

It's almost unreadable without the accompanying text saying it reads 'hourglass'.

The previous 'crazy' ambigram is better.
