Waiting screen symbol
A loading icon is a small animated graphic indicating that a computer process is in progress—data transferring, software launching, a page rendering.
The animation signals that the system hasn't frozen; it's working.
Common forms include spinning circles, rotating hourglasses, and progress bars.
I've been staring at this loading icon for two minutes.
