christmas-reflection-ambigram

What better way to wish everybody Merry Christmas than with a custom ambigram. The design above, reads Christmas when reflected in a mirror (a wall-reflection) or from either side of the page. For instance imagine printing it on a glass door – it would read the same from either side of the door! Jon Good, my former doctoral student at MSU, created a 3D printed version (shown in the photos below). I think it would make an awesome Christmas Tree ornament – since it would read the same even as it rotated freely when hanging from the tree.

Note: Full disclosure, this technically is NOT a new design. I actually created this a couple of years ago – but since I hadn’t posted it on to the blog, I consider it as being a “new” design.
