Executive dashboards

I’m developing an executive dashboard, and I haven’t been satisfied with the business graphics that are widely available (e.g. gauges, dials, stoplights). I decided to make a “Zen” version of a KPI status indicator, using as little color as possible, and incorporating E.T’s innovative “Spark Line” metaphor for display of trends. The graphic below shows the proposed KPI display across the top of a browser screen with a descriptive example in the middle. Any feedback would be wonderful!

Comments: Because of complex KPI names (e.g. This Week versus Last Week Sales (All Divisions), KPI’s were labeled with Roman numerals. Balloon help could display the KPI name when the cursor brushes the KPI indicator.

Best regards,
