Robert Petrick

Robert Petrick (born 1945) is an American graphic designer, font designer, artist, painter, sculpter, and ambigram artist. Petrick is one of several artists known primarily for their ambigrams, along with John Langdon and Scott Kim.
One of the pioneers of ambigrams, Petrick started creating them in the early 1970s. He is most well-known for the logo he designed for the rock group Angel, which he created on his own and presented to the group at one of their concerts. They loved it and subsequently used it from 1976 to 1992. Petrick credits Herb Lubalin and Tom Carnase as early influences.
As a font designer, Petrick has designed fonts for Fonthaus and ITC, including Boink, Tusk, and Gargoyle.
Petrick lives and works in New York City.
