There's your problem. Once you install the nVidia proprietary drivers
Plymouth will only display the "text" boot progress bar. Even if you
uninstall the nVidia drivers and go back to the nouveau drivers it
usually won't use anything else. 

There is an extensive thread on this topic on the Fedora forums that I
participated in because I use Fedora on my laptop. Some reported
success, but I could never get it to work and eventually gave up. Sorry
I don't have the link bookmarked, but searching the forums on
"teardrop" should turn it up. (Fedora uses the teardrop Fedora logo as
its default after installation.)
