Bug description:
  Currently, MyApps and CPI are using the "placeholder-app-icon.png"
  from the Suru theme, which is a basic greyscale image, including a
  version of the Ubuntu logo. Showing this logo as the app icon for apps
  which have no icon, implies they are officially supported apps by
  Ubuntu, and dilutes the brand and trademark, when they are not
  actually such apps, particularly when they have no function directly
  linked to any part of Ubuntu.

  Instead, a better representation would be a generic representation of
  an app window or similar.
