# Pencil and paper
I write the word down as many different ways I can think of until I start to notice correspondences. In this case the key was breaking the M up. Sometimes they just work perfectly, others never quite come together. I have never worked out how to ambigram my own username at all.

# There is a little web applet which just replaces letters by a 1-1 correspondence
but you need to work a bit harder than that to get anything decent. I can do the technical bit well, but I still don't quite have the facility with letterform designs to get it perfect. Plus I can never be arsed.

# Don't forget that there are different kinds of symmetry
You can make reflecting ones too (http://www.b3ta.com/board/8148533) or put the word vertically instead of horizontally (http://www.b3ta.com/board/8477620), or various other combinations
