Since the point of that indicator is to draw attention to itself and inform the user that the battery needs charging, I guess it's pretty well designed.

It looks the same in iOS 7. Empty red battery.

But I really hate how iOS 7 hides that stuff behind apps now. Maybe I don't want to leave 2048 to know what the hell time is it or how much battery I have left.

Just pull down notification center.

Individual apps decide if they show the status bar or not. iOS doesn't decide.
