My ambigram design in Brain Games TV show

The show is quite creative about how they explain ideas, using a range of techniques games, visual illusions and in-house field experiments.

Imagine my surprise and pleasure to find out that they wanted to use one of my designs (the Good-Evil oscillation ambigram) for one of their shows on Morality. You can watch the part of the episode where my design is used below:
