Thank you for your bug report, you should try to focus on describing an
issue rather than a solution though, i.e the problem you describe there
is that the ubuntu logo is not in the corner and harder to reach due to
that. It's a valid concern and there is several bugs open about similar
issues, I'm not convinced that having an option to "reverse" the
launcher is the right fix for that so I will put that bug as wontfix for
Ubuntu. You might want to look for discussions on the topic as well on
the unity-design list

Allow to turn the launcher upside-down

Bug description:
When the BFB was sent to the launcher in Oneiric, users lost, among
other funcionality (see bug #825146), the top-left hot corner which
facilitated to evoke both the dash and the launcher. With the BFB on
the upper side of the launcher, despite the advantages of having it on
the launcher, it is now harder to reach for because it's not in a
corner anymore and it's very close to window buttons and other
important applications buttons (e.g. Firefox's back button), so the
user is subject to constant accidental opening of the dash or
accidental pushing of application/window buttons.
Moving the BFB to the bottom of the launcher would restore it back to
a corner, making it comply with Fitt's law again, and would send it
away from applications buttons. This could also improve the discovery
of the dash button by new users, since the bottom-left corner of the
screen is where the "start button" is found in KDE, LXCE and Windows.
However, simply moving the dash button to the bottom-left would cause
it to be isolated from the applications launchers and consequently
increase mouse travel, so this would be better implemented if the
users had the option of turning the launcher position upside-down,
i.e. the icons aligned to the bottom and the concertina going towards
the top of the screen.
In addition, getting a hot corner back would allow users of
applications with sidebars (like Inkscape) who are annoyed by the
launcher constantly showing up accidentally to remove the reveal mode
from the left without huge mouse-travel penalties.
