While searching the web one day, I found a really interesting company, Idiagram. Below are some samples from Idiagram’s web site:

There is something about these graphics that keep me coming back to look at them. I find them very clear and communicative. According to owner, Marshal Clemens’s Who Page:

While ‘idea visualization’ is itself a fascinating area, it inevitably drew me to much deeper questions about what exactly ‘ideas’ are, how we tell good ones from bad ones, and how we use them to our advantage. I realized that while visualization is a fascinating tool, it is only a tool and not and end in itself; the goal is not just to create descriptive pictures but to use those pictures to improve human reasoning.

The current focus of my work is on improving our rationality in the face of complexity. This expanded goal has led me from my original focus on visual representation to a broad interest in human reasoning that ranges through philosophy, epistemology, the philosophy of science, humanism, complex systems science, cognitive science, evolutionary psychology, reflective psychology, organizational learning, strategic planning, and decision making.

What an interesting focus! I find his visualizations really interesting. I highly encourage you to surf around his web site. There is a lot of value there.
