Happy Hanukkah: New Ambigram

by | Sunday, December 25, 2016

In keeping with the holiday theme (see Christmas ambigram below) it seemed appropriate to create a design for Hanukkah. That task actually turned out easier than I had expected – with some natural symmetries that I could take advantage of. The “U” at the center, and the “HA” start paralleled with the “AH” end – just asked to be ambigrammed! If only all words were this easy. A few tweaks later, here is a mirror symmetric design for Hanukkah. Enjoy.
