About Us
I design highly creative and spot-on logos for all kinds of businesses. I pioneered the esoteric art of ambigrams in the 1970s, but the world was mostly unaware of them until Dan Brown commissioned me to create ambigrams for his book (and Ron Howard's film), Angels & Demons. I accept commissions from individuals, bands and other businesses for unique ambigrams and logos.
I paint "word paintings" that blend philosophy, fun, language, and compelling graphics. Please visit johnlangdon.net

I was a PITA as an employee, and hated being a supervisor.
My passions are language and design, and as a graphic designer, I got occasional opportunities to pull them together, but I wanted to specialize and bring those passions to my job every hour of every day.
