Yes ! I, too, liked it !
You might want to try DISPLAY = [ '.', 'o', 'O', 'o', '.', ' ', ' ' ]
This is also nice looking indicator. I saw it for the first time in ``cdparanoia'', IIRC.

If you are using Linux, you might want to try 

$ man console_codes

(It is Linux console escape and control sequences).
Or search Google for these keywords (as already suggested).
