Just having read this short story by Edgar Allan Poe, I decided to try a quick ambigram of the word 'maelström'. Although the spelling with an ö used by Poe doesn't seem to be used any more in English, it did come in handy for the ambigram. The two dots extended nicely into the two stems of the a. An additional thematic detail is the central s, which I shaped into a stylized whirlpool.
Maelström, GIMP, February 2010
Had attempted a similar ambigram.
ReplyDeleteThat A-ö is brilliant.
