Patent ID: 8512180

Claim:
A method of presenting a motion graphic on an exterior of a ball, the method comprising: defining a motion graphic with, a first and second termination portions that are substantially symmetric with respect to a first longitudinal axis and asymmetric with respect to a second longitudinal axis that is perpendicular to the first longitudinal axis, the first and second termination portions comprising essentially of sections of an annular ring partially coupled by a connection portion that extends substantially perpendicular to the first axis; and configuring the motion graphic to exhibit a visual characteristic that substantially contrasts the ball exterior, wherein the visual characteristic exhibited by the motion graphic and the ball exterior further comprise, a first selected color for the motion graphic and a second selected color for the ball exterior, the first selected color and the second selected color having CIE plot locations that are widely separated and opposite with respect to the location of a standard white illuminant; and wherein the visual characteristic exhibited by the motion graphic and the ball exterior comprises a first selected luminance for the motion graphic and a second selected luminance for the ball exterior, the first selected luminance for the motion graphic is selected to provide increased luminance contrast with the second selected luminance for the ball exterior.
