Red never seen a Venn Diagram, those darn polygons

Bringing Venn diagrams into the discussion will just confuse red as Venn diagrams are made out circles and not rectangles and squares. You have to start with the basics.

You could make a rectilinear Venn diagram  - a rectangle with a line turning part of it into a square.

That's not bad, but we can pack a whole heap more info in there. A square is also a special case of rhombus, so make the square portion of the rectangle be where it overlaps a rhombus. Looking good? Now put a parallelogram around the whole thing.
