That mingard graphic is right up there with Sankey diagram in terms of novel and efficient conveyance of data in an infographic.

Thanks, for pointing me to that. I was not aware of the Sankey diagram. As I understand it, both these diagrams employ the same device: arrow width to represent an extra dimension.

To my mind, the pie chart and the histogram are top of the pops in terms of classic visualization. Not sure where my life would be without histograms (I edit images).
