: Making a mirrored design's text "readable" I am an amateur texture designer and I have been working on my own design for a vehicle from the game Arma 3. For the side of a vehicle I am texturing

An ambigram is a word, art form or other symbolic representation whose elements retain meaning when viewed or interpreted from a different direction, perspective, or orientation.





There are plenty of online generators and tutorials on creating ambigrams. Most I've seen work with a 180 degree rotational symmetry, but what you want is mirrored symmetry, so keep that in mind.

Edit: This is something I came up with very quickly, not sure how well it works for your situation as I'm not sure in what context/size etc people will be seeing this, but it gives you an idea of what you can do:



This is what it looks like on the texture - it reads exactly the same when flipped:
