Ryos's avatar

Just to keep off-topic conversations out of the Contest one...

I had found this link some time ago, about ambigrams. I believe that Ryos's avatar is one - a text which can be read from several directions. Most impressive, I'd say.

I don't know if

palindrome

is an international (thus English) known word for e.g.:

Madam, I'm Adam.

Thanks Toybox -- good catch! I love doing ambigrams. They're fun, and easier than they look.

Some are easier than others.

Ryos

was somewhat difficult due to the inevitable o/y juxtaposition. I think I got the balance about as good as I ever will, and it works well enough.

Others, like

Toybox

, are almost ridiculously easy. ;D

Speaking of Ryos's avatar, the post where I had stashed it seems to have been eaten by the old board. Oh well, here it is again for old times' sake.

Wow, with the letters in-between, I thought it said something else...- pretty sweet! P.S.- I just looked at your sig and realized you're right about that too!
