There are several ideas pointing out the desperate need for formatting options (mainly the size of the indicator and the goals). However maybe the KPI visuals need more of revamp.

It is common that you want to compare a KPI to more than one value. For example current sales vs forecast, vs previous period etc.

How about
- Letting us label the different targets (Now it just says goals)
- Ability to show target values, % variance and absolute variance for each goal
- Allowing more than two goals
- Coloring the goals individually (as opposed to coloring the actual indicator value
- Choosing indicator symbols (up/down arrows etc.)

This could be easily achieved by for example simply stacking the goals on top of each other under the indicator.
