I like how the f of OFBiz is stylised. In the old days (before the EURO) it was the symbol of the Dutch currency (Guilder), which was derived from the Italian Florin. In that respect I find it fitting to be part of the logo, as it represents money for me. And that relates directly to the product.
While we - in general - type the name of our project and product with the first three letters in capitals (OFBiz), we don't have to follow that regime when it comes to logo's, shields, etc. There it is all about brand recognition. And, in my opinion, it doesn't matter that we say: - o-f-biz, - ofbiz, - or however one wants to express it. I get the idea/thought process behind it and I can relate that back to the project or product. And if it unclear to me, I can ask.... So when the project feels it needs to be very strict regarding this, please create the appropriate page (on our website/in our wiki), and you (who feel so) try to enforce it. I won't, as I rather focus on other aspects.
