About the 3-Circle Venn Diagram Template

Miro’s 3-circle Venn diagram template is a visual tool for providing a clear and effective way to showcase relationships between datasets. By overlapping two or more circles, Venn diagrams are great for visualizing the differences and similarities between multiple datasets.

It’s therefore no surprise that they’re useful for assessing probability in statistics, mathematics, and engineering. Because they can help break down complex ideas into visually appealing and digestible ways, Venn diagrams are especially useful for brainstorming and problem-solving.

Using the 3-circle Venn diagram template saves you time from having to build one from scratch. We’ll walk you through how to make the most of it.

How to use the 3-circle Venn diagram template

To get started, click on the blue “use template” button to open the 3-circle Venn diagram template in Miro. When you’re ready, follow these steps:

1. Add data to each circle

As its name implies, the 3-circle Venn diagram template comes with three circles ready for you to fill in. Identify what groups you want to compare in your Venn diagram and assign them to each circle: A, B, and C. In each circle, list the items that belong to that group.

For example, let’s say you’re comparing the qualities of an apple, a pear, and an orange. You could use circle A to list an apple’s qualities, circle B to list a pear’s qualities, and circle C to list an orange’s.

2. Identify the differences

Let’s say you’re comparing apples, pears, and oranges based on their color. You could write “red” in circle A, “green” in circle B, and “orange” in circle C. Since each fruit has a unique color, you’ll notice that none of them are part of overlapping circles. These are your differences. Double-click the text boxes in each circle to replace the pre-written text with your own.

3. Identify the similarities

Identify what all three fruits have in common and make sure that you’ve placed those qualities in the overlapping section of the circle. For example, you might write “contains seeds” as a similarity. Double-click on the text box in the overlapping section to edit the pre-written text.

4. Customize the template

Once you’ve added all the information you need to compare your three objects or concepts, it’s time to customize the look and feel. It’s easy to change up shapes, sizes, and font types in the 3-circle Venn diagram template — whether you want to align your diagram with brand colors, present your information more clearly, or simply make it more visually appealing.

When should I use Miro’s 3-circle Venn diagram template?

One of Venn diagrams' most well-known use cases is determining probability — which is especially common in fields like data analytics, engineering, and other scientific fields. Speaking of science, they’re helpful for visual problem-solving complex algorithms in the world of software and computer science. That said, Venn diagrams are also popular in the arts, such as studying the similarities and differences between various languages and language groups. In other words, you can use Venn diagrams anytime you have to compare two or more groups.

What are the key components of a Venn diagram?

There are six key components: sets, union, intersection, symmetric difference, complement, and relative complement. Sets refer to the data you’re comparing, such as numbers, ideas, or even objects. Union refers to everything that we’re considering in the Venn diagram — also known as the universal set. The intersection refers to what the datasets have in common — where the circles overlap. The symmetric difference includes everything except the intersection. The complement refers to everything that doesn’t belong to a particular set, while the relative complement refers to everything that’s in one set but not another.
