@Andrea definitely, it's just an opinion, and I do appreciate the reply.

I do understand your point of view: that it's an important factor that
the Ubuntu-modified GNOME shell matches with the GNOME documentation. If
congruency of the "Activities" button text is more important than the
look or layout, then by all means carry on.

For those of us users, however, who don't like it and would like to
change it, none of the GNOME extensions are working with the gnome-shell
package, though they seem to work with the gnome-shell in the gnome-
session package.

Do I need to file a separate bug against that package for the extensions
that aren't working?

Title:
  Consider changing "Activities" text to Ubuntu icon image by default
  for brand recognition

Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion

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).

  Here are the results:

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

  Wanted to officially bring it to the table for considertion.

  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.
