Answer 1

/path/to/your/gnome-shell/theme/gnome-shell.css (default path is /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/ )

Find there something simmilar to this: (it's on lines 3xx-4xx)

.panel-button #appMenuIcon {
        width: 0px;
        height: 0px;
}

.panel-button #appMenuIcon {
    app-icon-bottom-clip: 0px;
}

.panel-button:active #appMenuIcon,
.panel-button:checked #appMenuIcon,
.panel-button:focus #appMenuIcon {
    app-icon-bottom-clip: 0px;
}

.app-menu-icon {
   /* width: 24px;
    height: 24px; */
}

Alt+F2 -> r

That should remove the icon.
