Perhaps because it is sponsored by Red Hat, to have the logo aligned
with Red Hat's logo capitalization?

I obviously do not know the history but I'd love to have the logo
consistent with the name.

Looking at the PNGs, the original logo has the

	identity | policy | audit

line aligned with the right edge of the logo -- you should shift that
to stay aligned.

Of course, the IPA might no longer mean identity, policy, *and audit*,
so maybe that second line could be dropped altogether?

Also, it's FreeIPA with capital IPA -- shouldn't the letters on the
box be capitalized as well?

In any case, since Máirín authored the logo, she should be consulted
about the changes.
