I think there's a misunderstanding. This is what is how I classify things:
UK: United Kingdom (the country)
uk: Ukrainian (the language)
All I wanted was for the UK to be in capitals. That's it. As I have no
hope of becoming a dictator, benevolent or otherwise, I'll cheerfully
accept the wisdom of the crowd. I definitely prefer UK to GB, as UK is
more inclusive.

I voted lower-case on purely typographical grounds. The upper-case U in
the 'ubuntu' font doesn't have the same shape as the lower-case u, so an
upper-case UK looked disjoint next to the multiple, distinctive u's in 'ubuntu'.
If 'ubuntu' in the logo was capitalized, or entirely upper-case, it would have
been very different.
I'd ordinarily go with an upper-case UK on technical grounds, but in a logo
that's almost entirely typographical, type considerations are unavoidable.
Your position is also entirely valid, I just thought I'd illustrate the other side
of the fence.
