I've just updated from Utopic to Vivid and I think I have the same
problem. Icons in the Unity Launcher are jagged (see for example Sublime
Text icon in screenshot unity-launcher-a.png). Notice the difference
between Sublime Text icon in unity-lancher-a.png and unity-
launcher-b.png- in the second screenshot I modified
/usr/share/applications/sublime-text.desktop by setting
Icon=/usr/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps/sublime-text.png instead of
Icon=sublime-text. The icon looks much better than in unity-
launcher-a.png. It seems that if Icon parameter is set to "sublime-
text", Unity automatically picks icons which are the closest to launcher
icon size configured in Appearance Settings (34px in my case). Thus the
Sublime Text icon in unity-launcher-a.png is actually the 48x48 icon,
scaled down. The problem is that something is wrong scaling, and the
resulting icons look bad. Other bad-looking examples in my screenshots
are: Digikam, Eclipse, Terminal.

Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After upgrading from utopic to vivid beta, many (but apparently not
  all) icons in Unity contain pixellation artifacts, as if it's been
  scaled up very slightly.  Please see the attachment and note the
  launcher, as well as "Security & Privacy" which was highlighted when
  taking the screenshot.
