Mmm, judging which genes are differentially expressed without considering 
expression data would be a good trick! :)

There is an example of using venn diagrams for the purpose you describe in 
the User's Guide of the most recent versions of limma. If you're using R 
1.8.1, get limma from http://bioinf.wehi.edu.au/limma, if you're using R 
1.9.0, get it from the BioC development area.
