Looks like Jouni forgot to provide the design when marking this as
fixed. But in bug 1355093 he linked to
<https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ulthdi43a7t2os9/AABd_E913XKUlaFhHenYLtzsa?dl=0>.

The video shows the dots filling exactly once. In the absence of a spec,
it's not clear whether they are supposed to be determinate, always
filling exactly once (as with the progress bar in Ubuntu 9.04 and
earlier), or indeterminate, looping around (as in Ubuntu 9.10 through
15.04). Jouni, could you clarify? I'd be delighted if we returned to
determinate progress -- that would follow our design guidelines of using
a progress bar for a type of task that usually takes, or has already
taken, more than five seconds. <https://design.ubuntu.com/apps/patterns
/communicating-progress>

Either way, though, it's not clear how the dots should interact with the
progress bar for installing a system update, a process which spans
multiple restarts. Since the dots *look* like they're showing progress,
at least, I guess the progress bar should replace them entirely.

Title:
  [Boot splash screen] spinning Ubuntu logo on update & boot feels
  frantic and not very classy

Status in Ubuntu UX bugs:

Bug description:
  There is a large spinning Ubuntu logo during updates and a small
  spinning Ubuntu logo during the boot process.  There are several bugs
  already filed regarding the inconsistency in size and speed (see bug
  1355093 1335789 1350348)

  Regardless of the size/speed of the spinner, I this progress indicator
  feels frantic, cheap and off brand to me. It is an obvious and
  simplistic device, and one which we have tried to avoid as a core part
  of the user experience.  We have always been able to develop classier
  options. E.g., the desktop has the word Ubuntu with dots which change
  colour to indicate progress.   Is there a specific reason we have
  diverged from an existing (and excellent) solution?  Isn't this
  unnecessary divergence for the phone? And if there is a good reason
  for a new solution (i.e, different than the desktop), then I think it
  needs more work to reach the standard of beautiful design elsewhere in
  the product.
