Default visibility of transparent covering

I am wanting to use transparent covering on a kit and have a question about visibility. I have noticed that many planes like the one in the picture will use the transarent on top and on the bottom of the wing. It looks great but I was wondering about visibilty. The top and the bottom of the wing are identical. On one of my ARF's the underside is white and under one wing is a fat pink stripe. I never have any doubt about the orientation of the plane because of the contrasting stripe. However, it doesnt look all that good either. So how do you get the great looks of the transparent covering but not trade on visibilty? I would like some suggestions on schemes for a plane like the one in the picture with the transparent covering that would also have high visibilty.

I have no idea whose plane this is, I just found it on a website as an example of a covering scheme that I like. If its your plane, it looks great!!!
