Love it. Read it easily which is always challenging with an ambigram.

Great style but very hard to read.

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

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

I came back again for another look. Brilliant and for a long ambigram, legibility is awesome.

Have a look at some of Langdon's ambigrams. http://www.johnlangdon.net They aren't 100%25 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!! :-)

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.

a bad ambigram is an eyesore. A good one is a pleasant surprise. This is a good one.

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.

i dont know.. if you were wearing the t-shirt %26 looked down at it yourself it would still read right.. %3B)

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

@ 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?

This is really amazing.... Awesome execution.

Looks cool, but I can't read it. I can read the City part but %22All%22 is pretty difficult to see.

It's hard for me to read as well%3B 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 %22l%22. Since City is pretty recognizable, I think 'All' needs a little more work.

well done. City is easy All not so much but still readable.*Well done. Love the style. (oh, i see I already said Well Done - oops)***

I'm not english language man and without title %22all city%22 I can't read it at all.

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

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.

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!
