In admin bar, house icon is confusing depending on context

Description

In the admin bar, an icon of a house is used next to the site name link.

The site name link changes based on context: on the front-end, it links to the dashboard; in the admin interface, it links to the site's homepage.

The house icon most readily reads "homepage" to me, so I would expect that clicking on this link will always bring me to my site's homepage. This is not the case on the front-end, and there is no clear metaphor I see between house icon and dashboard/admin interface.

  • Keywords needs-refresh added
  • Milestone changed from Awaiting Review to 4.0

There should still be a quick way to go from the front-end to Dashboard, so I guess changing the link is not an option.

The idea in admin-bar.diff (using the Dashboard icon on front-end) seems good, but the patch needs a refresh.

Give me a few minutes and I'll refresh and resubmit (I'm Ghost btw)
