Public bug reported:

On June 6th I ran a poll on Ubuntu's Google+ community asking if users
thought the "Activities" text looked better in the top-left of the
screen for the Activities button, or the Ubuntu logo (traditional or
modified to fit the top panel style).

Here are the results:
https://plus.google.com/+JesseDuBordFilms/posts/LEjy6zxmNw3.

Out of 169 participants, 87% thought the icon would look better.

Wanted to officially bring it to the table for consideation.

Benefits being:

- Less ambiguous (the word "Activities" doesn't immediately depict the button's 
purpose or function to the user, in my opinion).
- Greater recognition for the Ubuntu brand. Nowhere on the default desktop does 
it show the Ubuntu logo, I think this is a greatly missed opportunity. Even 
Unity had the Ubuntu logo prominently on the top button of the dash.

I feel like this warrants some consideration on the marketing and design
team's end.
