Here's an earlier projection I made, but it's not as good. This one is a Mercator projection. It has too much distortion at the top and bottom.

Yea, I try to put the distortion in the ocean. In the OP map there are four points of maximum distortion, 90 degrees apart, in a great circle. I position the earth so one point is in the south Atlantic, one is in the south Indian Ocean, and two are in the north Pacific. You can see these four points arranged in a square on the map.
