In admin bar, house icon is confusing depending on context

[ericlewis]

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.

I am adding a patch which will always bring it to the home page if u click on the link.

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)

Clever clever. Improvement for sure.

Display Dashboard icon instead of the home icon in toolbar when the link leads to Dashboard.
