Simple... Traditional... Evocative?

Very nice. Does it pulse the whole time until the desktop loads?
The pulse is important.  Elementary OS has/had a pulsing cursive letter 'e' as their splash screen.  The pulse gave me the feeling that the boot process wasn't stuck.
As yet I have made no attempt to anticipate when systemd kills plymouth. I can do a fade or something else near the end, but would have to add a tweakable variable to the script so that users could 'tune' the timing to their system. Otherwise it would fade too soon or too late. Every system is different. So for now it just plays until plymouth dies. Without a progress bar, it is only an activity indicator like your recent offering.

If fact, it does have a progress bar (disabled) that could also be 'tuned' to reach 100% just before plymouth dies. I don't mind the tuning. But others will not want to.
I like it! Dark with traditional feather. Don't understand what the text and icons are for at top and bottom. The progress bar would be good.

It is running in a virtual machine - the text at the top (VM toolbar) & icons at the bottom (VM activity indicator) belong to the virtual machine.
