Looks great!

Only thing is that (on most boots) we won't have time to run the full
animation. It will maybe show 1 or 2 frames then jump to the final
one. I think that's OK - just pointing it out.

The first frame should have the bottom-center dot in dark-grey to
match the firmware. (currently you have that in frame 2)

If people agree with this design I'll go ahead and implement it.

Thanks,
Daniel
