Actually looks like it could be “code”. In which case the asset was probably flipped. I’ve seen this happen in some video games (The tavern sign in Atelier Iris 3 and the ? sphere and Yoshi Egg in Super Mario World, to name a few)

It could also say cool instead of God, but yeah, seems about right.

@Vree  
I like that idea.

I think it’s more that the bronies who want canonical stuff that makes sense to them are frustrated that the show staff cannot make up their mind what the ponies written language is.

maybe ponies are dyslexic

At the title of the Daring Do book, it says “Daring Do and the Quest for the Sapphire Stone” but Twilight does not read Equestrian so she says “Daring Do and the Quest for the Sapphire Statue”.

Note: If you flip Spike’s ticket it actually says:  
SPIKE DRAGON GOD  
OMGGGGGGG….Is that convenient?!!

Above is Gibberish British Horse Language That Really Sucks

@Vree  
Er, which panel is which?

It’s probably like Japanese:
 
The 2nd and the last panel is written in the original pony hoofprint. Little ponies are taught this in school, though it is not used much in the modern times except for ceremonial purposes.
 
Panels 1-4 are the romanized language that was adopted to poni from other tribes. Many ponies still can’t use this properly, which is why mistakes like in panel 1 are frequent. But books, diplomatic documents and anything else that might be read by non-ponies (don’t forget the bovine and donkey minorities, beside the foreigners) is likely to be published in this kind of writing.
 
“Ponji”, seen in panels 4 and 5, is an adaptation of the romanji system, with adjustments to not to completely lose some of the meanings found in hoofprints. THis is what most ponies use today, so it could be found in notes, school newspapers, or any private document or other event meant for ponies that outsiders are intentionally or unintentionally excluded from.

While thinking of pony languages while having some free time on my hands. I was actually wondering if because Equestria has numerous sentient species, if there is more than one written language?

People sure have a lot of time on their hands

Pity it’s language(s) isn’t translateable (except flipped-style letters).  
In pokemon anime, all “gibberish” actually translateable:  

 

 

 

 
 

it’s so they don’t have to worry about translating anything for international audiences

I think this is supposed to be a deliberate thing among the show writers and animators. They’re avoiding actual text in the show so that the youngest viewers (who haven’t learned to read yet) aren’t at a disadvantage compared to the older literate ones.

you forgot about Pinkie’s birthday cake

Not really. The banner and the weird hieroglyphs are both from season one, with the former being more of a one-time joke than anything. Come season two, and it’s all “Pony-Cyrillic” from then on out.
 
“Sihovi Ivcioveflo!”
 
I imagine the point of this is to make the show less blatantly English.

Huмan wriттen language is inconsisтenт aswell.

It reminds me of pseudo-cyrillic texts, with flipped and merged letters.
 
Other is ancient language: Chicken Scratch.

The pony world is rather inconsistent.

Surprise, surprise.
