Ambigram: do you read this?

[dark13]

Need some help, basically I would like to know how much is "readable" this ambigram before i start tweaking it. What do you read in the 2 lines, and, more important, do you read something? It is a bit difficult to evaluate how "good" an ambigram when you design it unless it's a "natural" ambigram so the best thing is to show it to people. Moreover, being hyperspin an international forum, there's a big advantage as reading an ambigram in a foreign language is a bit harder (our mind is used to automatically "see" known word)

Thank you

Which are the first words you've read?

This is not a "game", it is just to understand how readable the ambigram is

[dark13]

The "bottom" word is the top "word" with a 180° rotation An ambigran is a "drawing" you read like a word that you can still read when a 180° rotation occur, you can use the same word or another word. A REALLY good example is the SUN logo. Probably not too many people noticed it but actually you read "SUN" in it, and you still read "SUN" at every 90° rotation

Another version as the last letter seems to be the one with most problems...

Just saw this, and although I can now see God Mod in there it looked like UoD Mon at first!

Wow, this is really strange. I showed it to 10 italian people and 9 read the correct words, that are "god/men". The only person that hasn''t read "men" did not know that it was the plural of "man"

What do you think of this? Basically it has been modded to add also an "image" ambigram (hearts are basically 180* rotated spades). Still need to tweaks paths

I like the look of that one, but the e still looks too much like a (slightly odd) o so could do with a small gap in it rather than the tail meeting the head.
