Ideas for Progress Meters?

Hi everyone,
I'm at the final stages of a software simulation that I've been working on for a while. It has 3 different modules in it, and one of the modules has 4 required sub-modules.
I'm looking for a design for a slide that I will be lightboxing from a link on the player that will indicate which modules are complete and what needs to be done so far. I know how to program it in SL, but my issue is coming up with something fun and/or interesting visually. Any ideas you'd like to share?

These are easy to build into either slide masters or a light box. set either a t/f variable of numerical variable with increment and have shapes with visible and hidden states that show as the variable increments or changes to true.
Thanks Phil.
I know how to do it - I already have some generic shapes and t/f variables in place. I'd just like some graphic design ideas if anyone wants to share so it looks more appealing
What type of software or for what company? I'd look for a metaphor there for your meter boxes. Something fun and appropriate.
For example, if I was doing something for Coca-Cola, I may do something with bottlecaps.
Thanks Gerry, it's a version of Salesforce for a non-profit I work for.
I was thinking of computer monitors, but that seems so boring...
Hmm, use the characters for sales leads? Dollar signs for sales?
Haha, we actually don't do sales. We use Salesforce to track statistics for a Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program...
I can think of all kinds of tasteless imagery that would tickle me pink but not help you a bit Here are a few that represent a positive achievement that could work in a generalized sense:
Depends a lot on the rest of your theme:)
Thanks Steve, good ideas...
