Comment 33 for bug 668415

I dont care about which side the launcher is, but a nice shiny looking launcher connected to a plain ugly top panel with a flimsy looking ubuntu menu logo is a big disaster.

Either make the panel on left and top seem to flow in a smooth manner or detach the left launcher or panel a bit down away from the logo.

This way you stick to your design goals and make the desktop look more in 'unity'.Not many people might have pointed this out cos they trust you blindly maybe.You i mean the UI team.
