Number 3 followed by number 4.
I like trends presented linear and not overlapped.
It give you a better understanding of highlights over time lapsed 🙂

In reply to Srividya. I'm pleasantly surprised to hear how many people like number 3!

In reply to Amanda Kolburn. Yes, agreed! Idea 4 is garbage in the static version (it's a "spaghetti" line graph in the worst way), even if each line was a different color. It's only my favorite because I knew I was going to animate it for a presentation.

I like both 3 or 4, depending on the story you’re telling (e.g., are the October peaks the most important, or would you want to emphasize that ’22 seems lower than other years, etc., etc.). If the year data mattered, I wonder if you could use different brand colors for the years in #4, it’s a bit hard to tease them apart.

I like number 3 probably because it looks refreshingly different than the number 4 that we usually create
