I'm sure it's getting a different style at some point, but the use of the Ubuntu logo seems a little odd to me with it in the launcher.

With the recent Unity update, the Ubuntu's 'circle of friends' button has changed it's place from the left of the top panel to the top of the Launcher. It seems a great move to me if the usability is considered. But to my view, there is one problem with the new arrangement. I don't think the Ubuntu
