What's wrong with what you have? It very clearly and quickly
communicates the information. I do not know your requirements, but
there is probably no need to make it "prettier", if that is what you're
after. :)

If you're interested in the visual display of information, two people
that might help are:

Edward Tufte (see books 1 and 2)

and Stephen Few (Check out the "Examples" page)
