Comment (by folletto):

 > The issue with general updates is that there's nowhere to display the
 update count or a link to updates in the "admin" menu that comes down
 there, so you wouldn't have any clear path to addressing the notification.
 I think that's probably fine as its separate icon for now.

 I'm ok with a separate icon for now, however given core updates come
 inside the "Updates" menu inside "Dashboard", and dashboard has the update
 message at the top once opened — we should just show a badge there and put
 the dot on the W icon as for comments. This would also scale better on
 mobile.

 But yes: we can keep the icon for now and iterate in a later patch.

 > Other note - currently (in the patch) the "home" icon is used in place
 of the W icon in the admin context, which I think makes sense because that
 links to the front page of the site instead of the dashboard. But, we do
 lose that branding there, so not sure whether that's worth it.

 The W icon should always stay there. Not just for branding, but also for
 context. With this point you also made me noticed that I overlooked a
 piece in the previous i7, which was the opening of the menu from the admin
 side on mobile. So I reworked a bit the design, and followed your idea of
 using the house icon ("Home" action). If we put it immediately to the
 right of the site name it would work well. :)

 So, uploaded i8 design above. ;)
