I like the idea if it can be executed properly.  What if there were four of
them and on first glance they appeared to just be dice but on the second glance
they were studed dice made from multiple bricks and an third glance you could
see large background letters embossed in the most prominent
faces..G...L...U...G?  The letters might be bricks very slightly inset (in a
way that LEGO can't be, but illustrations can).

A couple of
those being rolled by a minifig hand - we can't use the fig itself, it's
LEGO trade dress, but the hand/arm is fairly distinctive too.

This thing about not using the minifig...is that a for real restriction, or is
that people being oversensitive of LEGO's IP?  Does someone know the law or
LEGO's stance well enough to speak authoritatively?

My original idea for a shirt (which might logoize) was to have minifigs from
various theme's interacting with various polyhedral dice: firing a d6 out of a
cannon, running atop a rolling d20, drilling rock with a d10-tipped device, etc.
