When I get stuck for an aesthetically pleasing pattern I often end up dropping in circles as guides. The next iteration looked a bit too much like the New Mexico flag so that was also scrapped. The first design ended up looking like a clock with the bars spaced uniformly, so I scrapped that and starting rotating them around.

I'd already decided a 4' circle would make a pretty nice screen size and fit on the back wall above the DJ, so I fired up CorelDraw and starting laying in approximately 1 meter spikes coming off of it. Since the controller had 16 outputs, this would be enough strip to do somewhere around a meter on each header. Digging through the reels of addressable strip I found a few spools of WS2811 strip with a 60px/m spacing.
