Like ambigrams, webcomics are a relatively new, yet considerably popular form of art. I enjoy reading quite a few them, so naturally I had to make a webcomic ambigram.
Webcomic, GIMP, May 2009
While designing the ambigram, a major problem I had to face was how to shape the w decently. At least both the i and c are needed to turn into a w. However, adding the rightmost leg of the m allowed for a a very symmetric w-shape, with the added bonus that it looked good when capitalized. The leg of the m and the c curve a bit oddly for the w, but the symmetry adds enough unity to its design to make it stand out.
I'm quite pleased with the final result. I like how the ambigram rotates around the dynamic middle c. Hopefully the upside down b is not too easily confused with a q.
