HN comment orderHere's a few other beautiful venn diagrams, including the first simple symmetric 11 curve diagram: http://webhome.cs.uvic.ca/~ruskey/Publications/Venn11/Venn11... That being said, this is the coolest venn diagram visualization diagram I've seen. Someone should make an interactive 11 curve diagram. Edit: http://www.combinatorics.org/files/Surveys/ds5/VennEJC.html has a lot more info on venn diagrams in general, if anyone is interested.
No Venn diagram will ever top the six-way Venn diagram from the banana genome paper. It is the last word in multi-way Venn diagrams. https://www.nature.com/articles/nature11241/figures/4
