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.

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.
