Bug Description

Having a look at the design of the empty state in several core apps, I found we don't have a unique design.

In particular I found 5 different versions:
1) clock-app - used by docviewer, calculator
2) dekko - similar to clock-app, but bigger image
3) messages-app - smaller image, bigger text
4) dialer-app - just text
5) music-app
6) system-settings - Updates - only text "Software is up to date" is displayed: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates#presenting-individual

Currently, docviewer - which uses the design 1) - shows an empty state when no document is available. For the same situation, music-app uses a different design.

Since clock-app design has been released in Sep '14, and music-app design in Jan '15, which design should we follow?

Below I've attached some screenshot.

When designing this please try to consider empty app switcher use case as well. That is when there are no apps open.
