Okay. So, Oliver's suggestion capitalizing CAD in the logo wouldn't have been accepted anyway, I bet.
It seems like this thread can be closed, then.

Just FYI: I was wondering which font was used to create the official KiCad Logo. This seems to be undocumented.
Asking two one font search engines lead me to the "Tiresias LPfont Bold" [1]. Is this correct?
The font is supposed to be available freely, but it seems quite hard to get [2].
Note that the KiCad's dot over the i is usually not shifted upwards.
