I don't have unity but you might try right clicking top panel. On the drop-down menu, go down to "panel" and on the new drop-down menu click on "add new items". Then click on "action button" (it might have a different name in Unity) which will place the name of the user on the top panel. When you click on the user name, you will have a few choices like "log out", "shut down", etc. The above works on xfce and Gnome desktops, and I imagine it will work on Unity as well.

If this does not work, you can use the terminal to shutdown.
Code:

sudo poweroff
and then hit the "Enter" key (after suppying your user password)

i think unity have done away with all this fancy right-clicking stuff as to not confuse the average user...

i think most systems' systemd's are configured to shutdown without password, so
Code:

systemctl poweroff
(or something along those lines)
should suffice.

I have 14.04 with Unity in a VM. I can shutdown/logoff by clicking a little wheel-like icon in the upper right hand corner; a menu drops down with a number of options including shutdown.
