Description A simple 3D ambigram, which uses shadows to create half of the text.

On close examination, you will find that it is physically not entirely correct. But if it would be, it wouldn't be an illusion, right?

This is probably the first 3D rendered ambigram I've seen. And it works surprisingly well, even if you had to cheat. The illusion definitely fooled me though.

Thanks! I am by far not as skilled in creating ambigrams as you are. Nevertheless, I find it fun and in this case I was fortunate that I stumbled upon this concept where meaning and realization combine nicely and only basic shapes suffice.

Nice, I had to stare a bit before I figured this one out.

Yes, admittedly, it's not the most readable ambigram ever. Nevertheless, I like its simplicity.

I think I was hung up on the 2nd "L" for a second and then I forgot how to spell illusions... After all the brain farts I thought it was quite nifty.

Man, I'm really glad I've just learnt from you about it. Thanks! \o/

I'm happy to have been the one to have introduced you. Some ambigrams are very ingenious and impressive. Check out for example the AmbigramCentral group [link]
