 (I can't see anything on http://make.wordpress.org/ui so I'm putting in
 this ticket.)

 While I like the idea of switching between ''Site Admin'' and ''Network
 Admin'', the current implementation provides very few visual clues as to
 which you are in at the moment (see attached screengrab). Previously you
 could glance at the menu and see where you were in the stack, top equaled
 Network and bottom equaled site. I think we need it to be obvious at a
 glance where you are.

 Some suggestions to make things more obvious:

  * Prepend "Network" to all titles as per "Network Dashboard", e.g.
 "Network Users"
  * Differentiate the title icons somehow (maybe a badge?)
  * Distinctive colour/tonal change in one or more places, perhaps the top
 bar (with the (W) WordPress logomark and site title?
  * Errr... any other suggestions?
