SystemD ugly boot

Question

Why does systemD have to be so ugly when booting? The SysVinit which is beeing used by Archlinux today have fancy colors and done text. It looks clean and neat.
Is it possible to get it to look better?

wow, i’ve located how it’s done:
in the file systemd/src/core/job.c is a function job_print_status_message(Unit *u, JobType t, JobResult result)
it contains this:
switch (result) {
case JOB_DONE:
if (u->condition_result)
unit_status_printf(u, ANSI_HIGHLIGHT_GREEN_ON " OK " ANSI_HIGHLIGHT_OFF, format, unit_description(u));
break;
case JOB_FAILED:
unit_status_printf(u, ANSI_HIGHLIGHT_RED_ON "FAILED" ANSI_HIGHLIGHT_OFF, format, unit_description(u));
unit_status_printf(u, "", "See 'systemctl status %s' for details.", u->id);
break;
case JOB_DEPENDENCY:
unit_status_printf(u, ANSI_HIGHLIGHT_YELLOW_ON "DEPEND" ANSI_HIGHLIGHT_OFF, format, unit_description(u));
break;
case JOB_TIMEOUT:
unit_status_printf(u, ANSI_HIGHLIGHT_RED_ON " TIME " ANSI_HIGHLIGHT_OFF, format, unit_description(u));
break;
default:
all hard-coded! man, that’s not going to change
