There are only 8 possible angles that you should see (ignoring orientation)
In my previous post, we looked at how a fair die has 24 unique orientations — each representing a different way the cube can sit while still being a valid outcome. But there's redundancy baked into those 24 angles.
If we ignore rotation — that is, if we don't care which way the die is twisted around its vertical axis — then all those orientations collapse into just 8 distinct corners.
Here are the de-duped 8 angles:

I just wanted to make sure I included this de-duplication here for completeness sake. The 24 previously mentioned arrangements all factor in the orientation, but it should be obvious to some people that there can only be 8 corners of the "perfect die".
There are only 24 possible angles that you should see
So as a follow up to my last post on how to Draw Dice Correctly, I've decided to create a blog post with every single possible die angle that you should be able to see.
There are exactly 24 valid orientations when you're looking at a standard casino die. That's it. No more, no less. If you're seeing something different in a drawing, rendering, emoji, or logo, it's wrong.

Look, I love dice. You love dice. If you're here reading this, you probably really love dice — or at least pretend to when you sidle up to a craps table and toss around phrases like “Yo-leven” and “horn-high ace-deuce.” But there's one thing that drives me absolutely nuts…
Bad dice drawings.

Crypto Never Looked So Good: Meme Coins Meet Modern Art
Move over, Renaissance—there's a new aesthetic revolution happening, and it's powered by the blockchain. I've just launched a wild new series of crypto-themed designs that blend digital chaos with high-art vibes. Think Bitcoin with bold WPAP edges, Ethereum bathed in watercolor swagger, Solana splashed across canvas like it just YOLO'd into an art school, and Dogecoin… oh Doge.
Forever glorious. Much art. Very wow.
