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. ** Affects: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: artful ** Tags added: artful -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1720736 Title: Consider changing "Activities" text to Ubuntu icon image by default for brand recognition Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: 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).
