My initial thinking is that the Ubuntu logo alone in the top left corner might not be as obvious that it is a button that users should press?
A lot of official and unofficial documentation uses the term Activities Overview to describe what you get when you click that button. Removing the word Activities makes that documentation less understandable and useful. https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/ By the way, GNOME by default severely limited the amount of branding opportunities they provided with GNOME 3. I think they reluctantly added a logo option to GDM and that's about it. Fedora has a patch (used in Ubuntu 17.10 too) to add a bit of branding to gnome-control-center's Details page. If we end up using a dock by default (like Unity), then I think a logo button would be fine. Otherwise, I think adding the Ubuntu logo next to the Activities button is fine too. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-themes in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1707831 Title: [enhancement] Replace the "Activities" label with the Ubuntu icon/logo/glyph Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in ubuntu-themes package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I suggest replacing the "Activities" label with the Ubuntu icon/logo. "Activities" sounds awkward and misleading. It would be more suitably vague, and more consistent with the existing Unity7 experience if the Gnome Shell "Activities" label was replaced by just the Ubuntu logo.
