Ambigram - A Rotating Example

An ambigram is a word (or phrase, or logo) which appears the same whether it is viewed right-side-up or upside-down.  Douglas R. Hofstadter describes an ambigram as a "calligraphic design that manages to squeeze two different readings into the selfsame set of curves."

To view this image, in both directions, click on it - that will allow it to rotate.  (If the image appears black, no worries.  Click on it anyway - that will make it come alive.)
