The “Home” icon was born in the late '90s but the “HomePage” button was from the beginning. During the years this button came through different phases but it's not disappeared, just hid. One pattern — obligatory “HomePage” link in the menu was transformed — now this “HomePage” link placed in a company logotype, and each website or almost every website uses this pattern.
