Ambigram

An ambigram is a word written in such a way that it is legible both rightside-up and upside-down. Ambigrams are a kind of ancient artform using words.

Ambi means "both"
Gram means "word"

First i've came to know about ambigrams is when reading Angels and Demons, bestselling mystery-thriller novel written by Dan Brown. The novel contains several ambigrams created by real-life typographer John Langdon. I liked all the ambigrams in the novel and visited the creator's website. The site contains so many ambigrams including his name (john langdon) itself. The website (http://www.johnlangdon.net) is worth a visit for the one who is interested in word art.

After seeing and inspired by those ambigrams, i decided to create one myself for my name. I tried a few times and succeeded in creating an ambigram for my name. Bad thing is i haven't tried to create anymore ambigrams after this. Now I am thinking to re-initiate the interest again.
