I wasn't actually talking about the circumference per se, just that Balsamiq has come "full circle" which I represented using

I know it's just a saying, but taken literally, "coming full circle" would mean the circumference. That is, going around in a circle.

I think "unit circle" means a circle with a radius of 1, not a diameter of 1:
