I still don't understand why the current icon:

a) is hard-edged - every other icon (in fact every other widget?) has
rounded corners.

    Is this simply to discriminate it from everything else? If so, is there any other way we can do this that is more in keeping with
    the softer-edged appearance of the rest of the interface?

b) has a very flat profile; the other icons on the phone have seem to
have very subtle (and attractive) highlights on the top edge.

c) is basically so different to the stylish swirl logo we have on
desktop.

    Should the desktop inherit the phone icon? Or should the phone
inherit the desktop version? (why are they different?)

Since this is arguably the most important icon on the launcher, it would
be great if it had a little more presence (above and beyond that of the
other icons).

Title:
  dash icon significantly different to that on other platforms

Status in Ubuntu UX bugs:
  New
Status in “unity8” package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  The dash icon is shown as an orange square (with very hard straight
  edges btw) with the Ubuntu logo within.

  This seems odd since it is so markedly different to the dash icon on
  desktop systems ("the swirl").
