Christmas
A really fun ambigram, with lots of interesting details that come together to make a particularly coherent design. I recall thinking that there was something new or surprising about each of the glyphs as I was designing it – the three-into-one-does-go RIS/M ligature being the most satifying part.
Of course, the central star-like ‘t’ is the conceit around which the whole design turns, and it was that element that helped to define the appropriately spiky overall look and feel.
This month it’s two-for-the-price-of-one here at Ambigram Towers. Not only do you get the design I did last year (which is a personal favourite), but also the design I did the year before last: ‘Merry Xmas’.
This is not as immediately readable as many of my other designs, and I think was a bit of puzzle for some of my hapless relatives who received it on their Christmas cards.
