@nando161 with so little overlap, the values aren't even the initial letters of each word. It's maybe "I", but that's about all that fits :)

@nando161 #AltText4You

A slide from a Thomson Reuters presentation. At left, a large orange circle with the words Trust, Partnership, Innovation, Performance (one word per line)

At right, a small yellow circle with the words OUR VALUES.

There is a very small overlap between the circles, making it appear to be a Venn diagram with very little overlap between the words at left and the values at right.

@pixelpusher220 @nando161 I think the whole "odd number of elements in a ring" thing is something they teach them in Design School. The original reverse of the UK £2 coin has a similar problem:
