Looks to me like there’s plenty of room to put in your symbol and have at least a 1 on them. Of course, that may not remain so for higher numbers of faces. Granted, I don’t play. But I wonder if having both would change people’s opinions. ---

Well, on that one there’s plenty of room, because it’s a big simple die with a small number of faces. For more faces, or faces with other artistic details on them, it can get more crowded. I suppose I could always just make both versions. ---

I tend to prefer, if a number is replaced by a symbol, that said number be “1”. ---

Would you do custom work? … I might buy a set of d6 with one die printed all threes and another all fours … clear blue … with Seven Feather Casino logos … [wolfish grin] … ---

That sounds like a good way to also get custom work done on both of your femurs. And in any event, it’s not the presence of the logo that’ll make these dice special; it’s the shape. Just plain ordinary cubical dice are too boring to bother making custom. ---

Are you making tesseract dice? ---

I’m sorry, but I’ve sworn off dice. The best thing to ever happen to the RPG was that they replaced the dice with a computer’s random-ish number generator. ---

You’re a mad man. Where am I supposed to get my exercise from if I’m not rolling dice? ---

I loathe dice that have symbols in place of numbers, because when I was playing Warhammer 40K, there was this jerkwad who had a handful of dice with symbols in place of the 1 or 6, _but he mixed them together_ and usually pretended that whatever symbol he needed was the one the symbol was. Like some others have said, I’d consider it if the design was cool enough but it was still very clear what the number was (for instance just off the top of my head, a dragon entwining itself around the hole of the “6”).
