Comment:

 In light of recent events, we may be investigating alternatives to badging
 in the UI.  For now, let's use elements of the UI already in place to
 distinguish them:

 1. Black outline, no fill:  By rendering the bundles as outlines, we
 convey the notion of a template, a yet unrealized object.  This is the
 technique used in the frame as well, and the Journal entries are similar.
 We'll need to use a black outline against the journal design.

 2. Title: We should make it clear by the title of the entries which are
 the bundles.  I actually think that "<activity name> Activity" is the best
 way to denote the bundles themselves.  When an activity gets installed, we
 should create this title based on the activities name, stripping file
 extensions and such.  Of course, right now this is the string we're using
 as the default for each instance.  That needs to change, but deserves its
 own ticket: #3225
