Bug Description
Perhaps the most important icon in the lens bar is the apps lens as it lets you see all of your installed apps. Unfortunately, the icon is difficult to understand.
I'm guessing that the icon is a ruler, a pen/pencil, and a paintbrush because it seems a derivative of the Accessories or Utilities icons used by KDE or GNOME2. But we don't ship a painting app (like Gimp) or a measuring app by default.
Other Art
=======
Both Android and GNOME Shell represent "All Applications" with several squares.
GNOME uses 9 squares: http://
Android 4.1 is using a circle with 6 squares (3 on the top row, 3 on the bottom row): http://
