LOGOMOTIVE said:I actually read it right away before I knew it was an ambigram, and with this many letters to work with, impressive.

Jeff Fisher LogoMotives said:I read it immediately as well - and then took a good look at how well this design was cleverly executed.

OcularInk said:Have a look at some of Langdon's ambigrams. http://www.johnlangdon.net They aren't 100% legible upon first glance, but once you figure it out, it's clear every time. That's the important part. And he's one of the best!! :-)

nido said:this is up there with Langdon's stuff in my opinion... though its not hard to imagine i would still like to see it in black.. on white. Well done.

dache said:Everyone is cheering because of the execution but logo design is more than applied style. I see no real reason for using an ambigram technique when its on the t-shirt medium... unless your target market has mirrors on the ceiling.

nido said:i dont know.. if you were wearing the t-shirt & looked down at it yourself it would still read right.. ;)

LOGOMOTIVE said:dache, why are you so ANTI ambigram? they're hard to do. Show's creative thinking and this one is very impressive.

gthobbs said:@ dache: following that logic there's really no need for design in logos at all. Why not just have a name represented in highly legible type? Anything beyond that is just applied style and ultimately subjective.
Or is design important as it goes to making the name stand out as memorable to its viewers?

gypseemoth said:It's hard for me to read as well; it took me a while. It might be that the symmetrical texture is interfering with its legibility - you may not need the grungy texture since the logo already has a lot of implicit texture.
Also, you could tweak the i's dot so it looks more like the bottom part of the "l". Since City is pretty recognizable, I think 'All' needs a little more work.

BJMRamage said:well done. City is easy All not so much but still readable.

Lucidity said:I couldn't read it. I mostly had problems with the 'a'.

chazthetic said:I read it right away from the thumbnail.
I studied under John Langdon and he would like this.
I don't think it needs all the styling though, it looks like it could stand on its own.

sandhya said:Very well executed. Although a little hard to read at first glance it still retains a pattern like impression which is creates a great impact!
