The reason the reinstall didn't fix the issue is because I have the
/home folder on a separate partition and upon logging in for the first
time, Unity was reading the hidden files in the user's home directory.
Apparently, after the final release, there were some previously created
(during the beta) configuration files that Unity no longer understood
after release day.

I fixed the problem by deleting all hidden files and folders from the
user's home directory (using the Live DVD), and (although probably not
necessary) I reinstalled Ubuntu 14.04 after this.

Title:
  Unity Broken Today - No Panels or Launcher After Logon

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I installed the Ubuntu 14.04 64bit desktop on this ASUS F75A a few
  weeks ago while it was still in beta.

  Today, upon logging into this machine, the Unity Dekstop was missing
  the top-panel and the launcher. I had to then press the power button
  for 5 seconds to turn off this laptop because crtl-alt-t would not
  bring up a terminal.

  In order to submit this bug, I've had to boot from the recently
  released live DVD.

  I reinstalled Ubuntu 14.04 again today, onto this machine, but it
  didn't fix the problem; as soon as I logged in for the first time
  there was no panels or launchers.

  Ironically, when booting from the Live DVD, the launchers and panels
  show up fine.

  The laptop ran great for weeks on the 14.04 beta, but now a fresh
  install produces a corrupted Unity Dekstop.
