Hi, this detail has been discussed a lot in the past on Yaru repo. The summary is that for the purpose of the icon, the grid seems to be the best representation so far. With this in mind we decided to keep the icon, but we are not closed to proposals.
I leave here some links to go into the details of the discussions - [New app grid icon (yes, again)](https://github.com/ubuntu/yaru/issues/796) - [Use the app grid icon instead of the ubuntu logo](https://github.com/ubuntu/yaru/issues/584) ** Bug watch added: github.com/ubuntu/yaru/issues #796 https://github.com/ubuntu/yaru/issues/796 ** Bug watch added: github.com/ubuntu/yaru/issues #584 https://github.com/ubuntu/yaru/issues/584 -- 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/1894909 Title: Feature Request: Ability to change "Applications Overview" button style.
