"An ambigram, also sometimes known as an inversion, is a graphical figure that spells out a word not only in its form as presented, but also in another direction or orientation. The text can also consist of a few words, and the the text spelled out in the other direction or orientation is often the same, but can also be a different text."

Basically, it reads one thing one way, then either the same thing backwards and/or upside down. Sometimes reading one thing forwards, then a completely different thing upside/backwards...
Examples:
These read the same thing both ways..
"Angels&Demons"
Inverted:
"Bridges"
Inverted:
These reading one word/phrase one way, then another when inverted..
"Life"
"Death"
"Philosophy"
"Art&Science"
Im quite intrigued, and inspired, by them.
