Mikkel,
I have found nomograms helpful in this regard. Frank Harrell, in his book, "Regression Modeling Strategies," shows you how to draw a nomogram from the logistic regression function. This is done in R using Harrell's rms library, which, I believe has replaced his earlier Design and Hmisc libraries.
