D8/D4

I've gotta say I think there's a design boo-boo with the d8/d4.

The d4 dots are positioned above the digits.

There are a lot of polyhedrals where the numerals 6 and 9 have dots or dashes underneath them.

With this die, a second of cognitive dissonance is produced by seeing a "6" with dots above it, which looks like it's trying to say that it's a 9.

Graphics should be easy to read and not dissonant with the visual experience and expectations of users.
