Hi-
No, this isn't a trick, well, actually there is sort of a trick to it. But I'm just kinda 'test marketing' this logo for a local band that I've been working with.

Click here for image

So first off, can you read what it says?

And secondly, can you find the 'trick' in the design?

thanks....
-Michael

I see Wall of Shadows. But as far as the trick, its been too long of a day to see anything thing else.

(when you see my post, you'll understand what kind of day I've had)

I guess so...you're typing in double-speak!

!

Now go have a looooong evening!

Well, you read it right...I'll reveal the trick later...unless someone comes up with it!

I can easily read it but I see no trickery....

When I look at it a second time I notice the logo does appear 3 dimensional as if it is mounted on a wall and it is casting a shadow on the wall.

If you flip Shadows over it still says Shadows.

we have a winner! yeppir....that's the 'trick' to it! It's called an ambigram...where a graphic of a word can be rotated and say the same thing, or another word altogether.

Mikey · « **Reply #8 on:** June 19, 2007, 12:00:11 PM »

Well, we all know that girls are smarter.......always have been.......always will be.......

Sandye · « **Reply #9 on:** June 19, 2007, 12:39:21 PM »

I saw it too...but since I'm just now reading this post, Kim beat me to it.

That's really neat, Michael!!!

so, is this for when your fans are passed out and seeing the logo upside down, they'll still know who you are?

mascot · « **Reply #11 on:** June 19, 2007, 02:45:29 PM »

Thanks Sandye! When I sent it to the band they all loved it, and the ambigram, so it worked out well for them.

unfortunately, upside down it says: SHADOWS do 77VM, and that just doesn't make much sense!

It would make perfect sense if "SHADOWS do 77VM" was the name of their Album/CD

Great Michael, thanks for not spilling the beans. Lets see if anyone gets it.

joeyb5980 · « **Reply #16 on:** June 21, 2007, 08:20:56 AM »

same backwards as forwards

How about this word- I bet noone knows what is unique about it:

"stewardesses"

Close.... right idea, but not as specific

mascot · « **Reply #19 on:** June 21, 2007, 10:43:38 AM »

Okay, didn't want to give it away so soon, but it's the longest word you can type on one side of the keyboard.

Murder for a jar of red rum

Sandye · « **Reply #22 on:** June 21, 2007, 06:18:56 PM »

That reads the same backward as it does forward. The "red rum" was a dead giveaway...you know...from "The Shining."

karen J · « **Reply #23 on:** June 21, 2007, 09:01:35 PM »

REDRUM ahhhh I hate that movie.

I got the shadow flip thing too, but not before Kim.

Yes, the women are smarter, smarter in every way (Aiko Aiko)

Stewardesses, pumpkin lilipop... hey that's cool!

A pumpkin lilipop ate stewardesses.

Stewardesses ate pumpkin lollipops.

Sandye · « **Reply #24 on:** June 21, 2007, 09:30:58 PM »

Yeah, I hated "The Shining," too, Karen. Which is really strange, because I'm an avid Stephen King reader.

However, that movie really gave me the creeps.

The only book of his that ever gave me the creeps was "Gerald's Game." Since she was handcuffed to a bed for 90% of the book, I actually got physically sick (dizzy and sick to my stomach) and had to force myself to finish the book. Silly, huh? I don't know why I didn't just quit reading it.

I'm very claustrophobic and also can't stand the thought of going without water for more than a couple of hours. Food, I can go without for a few days without worrying about it.
