A lopsided, unrefined ambigram done using PowerPoint. Too lazy to perfect this.

A Romanized Kufic of Microsiervois.

POST UPDATE: After the above design was posted, we received a polite email from Gregorio David from Spain, who had painstakingly rendered the rather bland colour scheme of our version into something quite a piece of art:

Gregorio David's psychedelic version (love it!)

Design evolution: a comparison.

Hitam & Putih: Black & White in the Malay language. Compare that to an old design - posted on 1st February 2006, to be exact - below (the ampersand was omitted then):

Two design proposals for an online contest. Unfortunately, the contest was ceased. :(

Another shot at designing ambigram using MS Paint. Yet to master it, though...

Hidup Melayu! A response to AwangPurba's aesthetically pleasing Malay-oriented design:

Romanized kufic reading Godel Bach Escher. A nod to Douglas Hofstadter, one of the pioneers in the art of ambigram designing.

An experiment with (religious?) symbols. Reads - or supposed to - 'strange!' and 'perverts'.

Figure-Ground with rotational ambigram quality. Says 'HI' in black and/or in white.

a suicide.

a deathwish.

... symmetry.

Rafa: I'll rotate no more

... er, maybe one last time...

Sort of a sneak peek

Within the the next month or so, a new series of nagfa T-shirts will be revealed, after a collaboration with one of the much-visited webpages in cyberspace. Instead of the current designs which delved into rotational ambigrams, this latest series will play with reflections, where a hidden - usually ironic / contradicting - message will only show itself through a mirror.

.

One such design proposal - and later rejected - was the much-popular NERD-GEEK reflection (below):

Another rejected design proposal:

reflection: the braves-coward shit

The preliminary design (above) works when the macho, testosterone-fueled, chest-thumping declaration of 'The braves' actually reads 'coward shit' through the mirror. Meant to be a humour / witty T-shirt very suitable for a prank Birthday Gift for the Type A - Alpha Male - MCPs.

More updates soon...
