How to load custom view in UIStoryBoard?

I am interested to write my custom view, so I created the following xib file:

enter image description here

This is the definition file:

- (void)_baseInit {
    NSLog(@"Unseen View loaded");
    [self addSubview:[self activityIndicator]];
    [self activityIndicator].alpha = 1.0;
    [self activityIndicator].frame = CGRectMake(round(([self imageView].frame.size.width - 25) / 2),
                                                round(([self imageView].frame.size.height - 25) / 2), 25, 25);
    [self activityIndicator].hidesWhenStopped = YES;
    [self showIndicator];

    UIPanGestureRecognizer *panRecognizer = [[UIPanGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(move:)];
    [self imageView].userInteractionEnabled = YES;
    [panRecognizer setMinimumNumberOfTouches:1];
    [panRecognizer setMaximumNumberOfTouches:1];
    [panRecognizer setDelegate:self];
    [[self imageView] addGestureRecognizer:panRecognizer];

}

- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame
{
    self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
    if (self) {
        [self _baseInit];
    }
    return self;
}

- (id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder*)coder
{
    if ((self = [super initWithCoder:coder])) {
        [self _baseInit];
    }
    return self;
}

I tried to hook it up in my story board:

x

And I have my MainViewController call this during viewDidLoad:

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];

    self.unseenView = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"UnseenView" owner:self options:nil] objectAtIndex:0];
    self.unseenView.delegate = self;

Unfortunately, nothing is showing up in my simulator literally nothing, not even the text labels. enter image description here

However I am seeing the following log messages: 

2013-02-20 17:37:58.929 Giordano.iPhone[66857:c07] Unseen View loaded
2013-02-20 17:37:58.934 Giordano.iPhone[66857:c07] Unseen View loaded

What am I doing wrong?

It looks like you are preparing your view correctly, but you are not adding it to the view hierarchy. in the viewDidLoad code you need to add this line:

[self.view addSubview:unseenView];
