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.

Regards,
  Shaun
