This is similar to a palindrome but instead of a word/sentence that reads the same forwards and backward is there a word for words/sentences that read the same right side up and upside-down?
Also what are some examples?

It's a calligraphic wordmark (probably) with twofold rotational symmetry. That's probably not good enough for you, though! You might have better luck on the graphic design SE. I've seen these before - and even drawn them - but I can't think of any specific examples. (The ABBA logotype is similar but has reflection symmetry, not rotational.)

That is called an ambigram. It is a typographical design that can be read in more than one direction.
ambigram noun
A typographical design consisting of text modified in such a way that it can be read in multiple orientations, as in mirror image, inverted, or when rotated.
(ODO)
Famously (?) used in Dan Brown's Angels and Demons.
