The download that I clicked on is the one at the bottom of the first page.
It contained files numbered from 1 to 12, some of them in dds format, other in png, and having a whole bunch of different sizes
You make me wonder if I downloaded the correct pack

No offense at all, but so far I haven't ever seen a single SHIII, IV or V emblem either from Ubisoft or custom made, that had other size than a standard one. This not only true for emblems: almost every texture in SH5, and in many other games for that matter, is a square whose size in pixels is a power of 2. If this is not enough many graphical applications don't even let you save a texture in dds format, if it doesn't stick to this rule. Reason is the way mipmaps are generated and the way modern GPUs are handling textures. Anyway if you tested your eblems in game, and they are rendered correctly, I can only be happy for that.

That's true. I haven't ever progressed in campaign, and I am still the captain of an ananonimous VII a, with a standard conning tower. On that tower the emblem is painted on the front, and that one emblem gets mirrored, so I use to pre-invert my custom emblems in order to make then to look good. Indeed, If I wanted to use the same emblem on a "side painted" tower, one of its sides would get a mirrored emblem anyway. Imo this is not a bug but a feature, for making U-boats, sharks, dragons, devils, or whatever to look at the same direction
