A further study of the previous 'elixir' reflections brought to us this solution: double vertical-horizontal symmetry.

ambigram & reflection: elixir-elixir

.

After the previous 'elixir' design, this was a natural step to highlight the possible vertical-horizontal symmetry of the word.

A rediscovered old design (circa 2000, we started by designing reflections) and after the necessary touch-ups:

reflection: elixir

.

Then, we realised it could be inverted into a fine metal-butterfly... so:

reflection: elixir

.

... and surprise, surprise, the word 'elixir' could just about be read still..
