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 Awaiting Review → 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 mea few minutes and I'll refresh and resubmit (I'm Ghost btw)
I am adding a patch which will always bring it to the home page if u click on the link.
