Apple has done it again …

I’ve always been a staunch believer and a blind follower of apple’s product designing fundas. I had a startling revelation, thanks to my sister(aka current junior exun member saumya) who brought it to my attention, that the phrase “ipod!” by itself is an ambigram!

Those who have done a thorough research on the works of Dan Brown, responsible for masterpieces like DaVinci Code(duh!), Angels and Demons, Digital Fortress and Deception Point, would better understand the concept of ambigrams if they have bothered to go through the prequel (somewhat) of DaVinci Code, Angels and Demons. Anyhow, for the uninformed please refer to the following sites for more information on ambigrams.

http://ambigram.matic.com (interesting)

Anyhow, without much further ado, i bring you the ipod ambigram :

That’s All folks 🙂

once again cheers to apple.

Rohan & Saumya

P.S. : i DO realise that the ipod ambigram may not be intentional but, oh well, with apple you JUST never know 🙂
