Ambigram me

I have used this site to build an ambigram of my first name. Remember the SUN-Microsystems logo? Yeap - an ambigram. I found out today that it is an ambigram.
I feel like I'm the last person on earth to discover these graphical figures.
Has anyone reading this post already used ambigrams for a logo-design? Please stand up :)

PS: If you're also new to this stuff, John Langdon and Scott Kim seem very keen on using ambigrams, so check their sites. :)

physical and emotional growth;

self-awareness;

social structures;

etc.

IKEA=furniture+specialty grocery?

In an attempt to rescue its margin, IKEA plans to move into the grocery market with its own-label products in 2006. Hm... "Come to IKEA, buy a table and some food!" :)
Is this what marketers call "losing focus" or simply genius?
