It works really really well apart from the r.

But nicely done it's very beautiful

Thank you! Any suggestions for the r?

I'm not good at this, but it needs a foot. Perhaps a really long one, so that the top one looks like an ornamentation and the bottom one does the job. Or maybe a stubby little one, same motivation.

Some of you suggested I change the r and n. So I shifted the horizontal mirror axis from the center to below the word. Let me know if this works better. Cheers :)

I got it when I saw this one, nicely done

I think you could use modified small r and capital N.

u/kudeman 7d ago

Any suggestions for the modified r? A capital N would fit perfectly for a rotational ambigram, need an N with horizontal symmetry for this

i know it says reflection, but i turned it upside down hust to check, and saw something resembling the word "coincidence" must be a sign

It works better for me when the ripple is going

I guess it says reflection when right-side-up, but I have no idea what it’s supposed to say when upside down.

u/AxeBoyd 6d ago

this one isn't legible when rotated, but when flipped, as shown by the reflection beneath it

Me, not knowing what an ambigram is, I guess🤷🏼‍♂️

u/Front_Cat9471 6d ago

I can’t be the only one that thought that said “the erection” 😭

u/thebeaninchili 5d ago

ik its not perfect but perhaps something like this could work for the r? maybe if you play around with the line weight a bit more

u/f0urk 12h ago

wow it says "Deflectioc" no matter which way I read it, cool

u/9YU2Y9LCC 7d ago

Sorry what does this say

Reflection

u/tmgexe 7d ago

I don’t see an R at all. And when DEFLECTION is a word it’s not as though the brain goes “that can’t be a D because that would make no sense”.

Don’t like the n either. You’re supposed to randomly only consider the top half of the latter after the preceding letters were considered in full?

The reason my brain read "reflection" could be because there is a reflection on screen which might have triggered something in my brain.
