    check out the original titles by John Langdon who has designed the ambigrams for Dan Browns previous book, Angels and Demons.

    I heard John Langdon was pretty pissed when Ron Howard dropped the titles he made, but I can see why it was done. The ambigram doesn't really lend it's audience to the screen as the viewer can't manipulate it. Also when they broke the ambigrams apart to show their meaning, in my oppinion that happened too early, the effect of the ambigram was distroyed before you could view it the way I'm sure John designed it to be viewed.

    Also ambigrams run the risk of confusing people and making them feel stupid. People don't like that feeling and everyone I meet who really liked the Davinci Code and it's prequel don't seem like the type who would enjoy a puzzle.
