I do not think so. Did you actually look at the options???

We spent weeks before the vote asking for ideas and suggestions.

On the POLL there were *2* options with the UK in uppercase: 
http://pollka.libertus.co.uk/ (#9 and #10)

The results for the Uppercase UK were not popular:

so in order of popularity that is:

8) 58 full height k with hyphen
7) 48 UK with Union Flag texture. The texture might be repositioned a
bit if this is the winner, probably more like the current logo.
12) 43 circle of friends between ubuntu and uk
6) 40 lower case uk with ascender of k in line with b and t of ubuntu
11) 37 Waiting for the image on this one, the logo of #8 but with the
round hyphen of #2 and the circle of friends a bit bigger so it lines up
with the top of the k
1) 35 Bold UK scaled down to the height of the lower case ubuntu
5) 25 lower case uk with short ascender on k
2) 21 Bold UK with a circular hyphen
4) 23 lower case uk
9) 20 full size caps UK in the Ubuntu font
3) 10 Normal caps UK scaled down to lower case height, circle of friends
between ubuntu and UK
10) 8 caps UK, but with the lower case u scaled up to the size of caps
U. This might be redrawn a bit more precisely if it is the winner
