There’s a nice interplay between geometric and logical dualities in C.S. Peirce’s graphical systems of logic, rooted in his discovery of the amphecks \textsc{nand} and \textsc{nnor} and flowering in his logical graphs for propositional and predicate calculus.  Peirce’s logical graphs bear the dual interpretations he dubbed entitative and existential graphs.

Here’s a Table of Boolean Functions on Two Variables, using an extension of Peirce’s graphs from trees to cacti, illustrating the duality so far as it affects propositional calculus.
