I was thinking something more like this:
http://labcase.org/
that ends on the map interface after it's loaded.
This one is kinda nice too:

This one is nice and simple, think about the map in the BG instead of the picture . . .

This one is kinda interesting too, starts me thinking on ways to segregate out user settings from the interface, even User docs could be plopped into something like this. Starts to look like a phone interface too.

Just plain old cool looking . . .

For reference, here is some dated loading graphic details. You can see this or similar in action here, http://maps.co.crook.or.us/
The following will allow you to add a loading symbol to your maps.
Create the file MapLoading.js with the code below and place it in your htdocs/extensions folder.
// JavaScript Document
LoadingExtension = new OpenLayers.Class(GeoMOOSE.UX.Extension, {
load: function() {
var loadingpanel = new OpenLayers.Control.LoadingPanel();
Map.addControl(loadingpanel);
},
CLASS_NAME: "LoadingExtension"
});
GeoMOOSE.UX.register('LoadingExtension');
var loadingpanel=new LoadingExtension();
Navigate to the OpenLayers website, download LoadingPanel.js and place it in your htdocs/OpenLayers-2.8/lib/OpenLayers/Control folder.
Add any animated gif loading symbol to your htdocs/skins/myskin/images folder. Here is a cool app that lets you create and download an animated gif link
Add the folowing code to myskin.css:
.olControlLoadingPanel {
background-image:url(images/loading.gif);
position: relative;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
left: 45%;
top: 45%;
background-position:center;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
display: none;
}
Add the following javascript references to geomoose.html:
<script type="text/javascript"
src="OpenLayers-2.8/lib/OpenLayers/Control/LoadingPanel.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="extensions/MapLoading.js"></script>
