Comment (by folletto):

 First answering a bit...

 > We also show an Updates icon when there are core, theme, or plugin
 updates, except on phones. How would we handle that in the new design?

 I'd use the same notification dot on the W icon. Or we can add another
 "action" button, if we feel that's not enough, but I feel that the
 notification dot should work. We could also use different colors from the
 Design Handbook: maybe blue for comments and orange for updates.


 > Customize icon ideas in content

 I'd avoid the last one because it's often used for "plugins". If possible
 I'd like also something less abstract, but I would be ok with either. I'd
 like @melchoice's feedback here. :)

 Added new iteration (i7) building on the points above, specifically:

 * create + edit + customize + front-to-back flow
 * handle multi site

 A couple of notes on i7:

 1. Going back to front-end: I feel we could have some kind of "separate"
 badge to do that, but let's try with something simple first: what if the W
 logo / title just goes back to the site? Too hidden? Any perspective or
 data here?
 2. "My Sites" is going to be a bigger issue, but I don't want to tackle
 that now because seems a bigger issue, so I've suggested an approach that
 will allow to keep the existing structure without more rework, just
 switching the places.
 3. "My Sites" however should have a more descriptive icon. Even just
 adding a circle that makes it identical to the W logo makes it way better,
 but I feel that some work should be done there too inside that circle.

 Also: amazing work there @celloexpressions! :)
