Benham's top would indeed be pretty cool. I wonder if it works with such a large area spinning.

The biohazard logo is pretty neat.. although it's very dorky. I'd have to fill the inside of the disc wheel with anthrax or something to justify it. Then it would just suck.

The one I saw worked pretty well, but it was more seizure-inducing than optical-effect.

I can't see how it would work the same on a wheel: "stroboscopic artifacts occur due to the interaction of your monitor’s frame rate and the frame-wise display of the rotating wheel "

There's a more low tech way to do it.

I've seen several different black and white patterns, some more chunky than others, usually on spinning tops.

Just horrible way of "trying out" a design.

What not to observe – The higher the speed, the more stroboscopic artifacts occur due to the interaction of your monitor’s frame rate and the frame-wise display of the rotating wheel (think of the backwards rotating spike wheels in Western movies).

What to observe – When a fairly high speed (more precisely: local temporal flicker frequency) is reached, the arcs take on weak (desaturated) colours, for instance I see a red-brown in the centre three arcs. When reversing the direction of rotation, the colours flip places.

How about some kind of three bladed tribal thing?

(This one is a bit too loaded but it gives the idea)
